cable reviews?
I read the forums and the online magazines and always wonder about the cable reviews. How can I discover what all of the hype is about. I have read promising reviews about cable brands such as Cardas, TARA Labs, and Transparent. I admit I’m leaning towards TARA due to many awards I’ve seen in AbsoluteSound magazine. Cardas also seems to be pretty good also. Any advice on which cables would best suit my system. I have a modest system, with the new Sony Digital front end (brilliant), Bryston electronics and B&W loudspeakers. Thank you

12-09-14: Schubert I have. Well maybe "bad" is a bit harsh, but they certainly weren't my cup of tea. The soundstage was too forward for my tastes, in my system, using the Crystal Oval 8 speaker cables. Tonally they were pretty well balanced, but I am not a fan of that front row, in your face presentation. I do know that some enjoy this, so to each their own. |
You may find this thread to be of interest. The bottom line: Do not expect a high degree of correlation between cable performance and cable price, for several reasons in addition to those that have been cited above. Regards, -- Al |
Welcome! Fschulz, the cable world is a wacky one at best. First and foremost, I am a "cable guy". The best advice I give, is to get out there and listen, listen, listen to any/all cables & power cords. Bryston electronics & B&W speakers do well w/ the following; Audioquest Nordost Transparent these brands will get you started. Keep me posted, I many years of experience and happy listening! |
I would like someone with knowledge to trace the origins of copper through to the end where it is terminated and fancy dress put on ? I assume all cable sellers do not make the copper strands from scratch themselves . How many actual copper stranding companies can there be ? Or silver , ect ... . Thousans of dollars for actual materials that i would assume cost under $100 . granted they should be paid for going through the hassle of sifting through what all the suppliers have to offer , ect ... but cmon ! |
