speaker cable suggestions

I have the SP 100s and use Cardas GR. I tried the Anti Cables, they leave out a lot of the music; sold them for half what I paid. If you want a cheaper one Mapleshade is good with a similar bias toward the top end as the A-Cs but more acceptable. It may be that the warmth is coming from the amp, not the cable; if you can try another amp, possibly a good SS, on the speakers to see if this is the case. There are two different ways to go with cables; looking for maximum accuracy and using them as tone controls. I find the Cardas accurate with my Spendors and Gamut L5s. One friend uses Sasha with Lamm hybrids, and another uses AvauntGuard [sp.?] Horns with custom tube amps and both use GRs. BUT if you want your system to sound more forward or brighter they are not the best choice. I would look at Transparent in that case. The lower ranges, I saw an older series Ultra for around $400 that I though about buying for my HT myself.

Purist Colossus is very 3D, but heavy in the bass, and recessed on top...If you don't like Kulas you wont like these. Cardas (I tried all) was the worst sounding cables I ever had in MY system. It just shows to go ya that cables are VERY system dependent. You really have to try them in your own system to hear what they do.

Stingreen, I agree with you about Cardas but totally disagree about Purist. Colossus is not heavy in the bass, it is just right. Nor is it recessed on top though it doesn't mean that you can't do better, you can. And midrange is just excellent. So, in my opinion, this is one cable definitely worth trying; or as I said Proteus.
Yes, of course, systems vary as do preferances.

There is someone here on Audiogon, and he posted his system, who uses Jadis electronics and speakers. He said he tried many cable brands and chose Jorma, that's Swedish quite expensive brand. You could try it too.

Inna...I tells it like I hears it....a reason to try it in YOUR system. There are 2 permutations of Colossus..1,2. 2 is a bit better in the mids with less fake base and better overall presentation.
