budget Cables / Interconnects recommendations?
Hello all- For the past 10 years I have been using some cheap mostercable type interconnects, and I'm wondering I'f I'm missing out. My set-up includes a pair of VTL compact 100 tube monoblocks powering a pair of NHT super-two's. Main source is a rega Planar 3 (about to hopefully be fitted with a BENZ ACE) with an adcom pre (that I am about to replace, with what I am not sure, something tube I imagine)-- anyways, It seems that I could easily buy cables that cost more than my components. Do they really make that big of a difference or is the money better spent elsewhere? What brand would be a good place to start to do better than my cheap wal-mart cables but not spend a fortune? thanks- M

There will be too many opinions to count. I am happy with my choices. Cables: Blue Jeans cables, Cobalt Cables, Speltz. Pre-amp: Modwright, PS Audio, AES to name just a few. Until you spend a lot more on the components I don't believe you will reap the benefits of expensive wires. Good luck and have fun. |
Wire may or may not be a factor based on the rest of your system and the acuteness of your hearing. The NHT Super Twos are really excellent speakers (I own Super Zeros and Super Ones in my Home Theater), however I question if they are resolving enough to enable you to detect differences in wire. They may. The big question is what preamp you will use. I'd suggest selecting the preamp and then trying some different wire by purchasing various examples used on Audiogon and reselling what you don't like. Here's a tip. The Mogami interconnects sold by KAB Electro Acoustics (www.kabusa.com), are really good and very inexpensive. I own a pair of the "Blues" ICs, which cost about $25 for a two meter pair. KAB specializes in modding Technics SL1200 turntables, but their accessories are also excellent values. |
