Speaker Cables for SET Amp

My experience is I like thin, generally copper, but silver with the right dielectric is the best I have found. Check out the Cardas website. He offers a special cable for SE amps which, btw, happens to be very thin. I bought their SE-15 based on Terry Cains recommendation.

I went from thin (Mapleshade and Omega Mikro) to thick (shotgunned Home Depot 14 gauge outdoor extension cord). Cable cost went from $600 to under $20. The HD stuff is still there after amost 2 years, so it must be doing something right. My SET monoblocks have 845 outputs, EL-34 drivers, and ECC31 (6N7) inputs, for what it's worth. Good luck, Dave

auditorium 23 cables. relatively thin copper. particularly good for longer runs. i bought a pair earlier this year and couldnt be happier with them.

I use the Cardas SE-9.

if you can swing it, transparent audio.

i'll be covering this in a review i'll have on dagogo.com, but the thing is that with any amp that does not have an optimal power supply (defined as 2x power as impedance is 1/2'd), the transparents "evidently" perform an impedance matching function, manifest as enhanced bass performance (depth / pitch). - the cables allow the amp to see an easier load (don't ask me how; my experience drives my assumption, but does make perfect sense), which is highly beneficial for less-than-current monster amps.

with a Wavac SET, the transparents were revelatory and indispensible. with a Belles 350a Reference, they were outclassed by anticables.
