Good Better Best Interconnects

TVAD,

I should have stated that I have ProAc Tablette 50 speakers(shortly upgrading to the Tablette Reference 8 Signature speakers) on heavily weighted stands as is equipment(and using ? high end handmade purchased years ago, planning to also replace these shortly)... I had been usuing Levinson & Van den Hul IC's & other cables but I've had to move & rearrange my equipment rack to accomodate extra euipment & monitor etc. no room now & need extra length , 1.3-1.5 mtres blah blah blah ...
I think you missed my point T,as I described the equipment (sytem) I am using (& plan to get)!!!,
also, I have spent coutless hours & I mean more than I can remember reading at least 1/2 forums ( hundreds +++ )getting eye strain & headaches & neckaches trying to get some helpful info, that would save me ( wasting more $, as I have upgraded my system over the years, & I have yet to come up with anything to resolve this.

I Have numerous cables, that I cannot sell, that sit in a huge heap looking like mating'snakes in heat'! $ wasted as I cannot sell , so I prefer not thowing away more of my hard earned precious little resources ... I just returned from a very expensive trip to Asia & will go again in the spring ( I have other plans for my $ ) , so I want to keep this cable replacement endevour down to a dull roar, as I have already spent wasted $ thousands of $ that now sit breading & as I have now learned long ago, you cannort always sell what you buy usually sits taking up & wasting space (of which I have alot ), & esp. Not for what you paid for it, lucky if you get Even 50% in this day & age/market !!!...

As I have just ( last week ) received & hooked up my Mc MR85 Tuner to my Mc MA6900,( & will be upgrading the rest in a while, but want to enjoy the Tuner now), I though I might get a , at least a few intelligent helpful responses from maybe some that have or had similar equipment as I, but I guess/ obviously that is too much to ask ;),

Of course I know that everything being equal, which is not always the case,the system depend scenario is part of the equation...

Maybe you can afford to play & maybe win ( most likely & honestly not ) your ZERO Game, I cannot & plan not to ... A

So now the more I read 'Your' Helpful ;) responses this is sounding more & more like an elitest chess site/forum , where everybody is a so called smart *ss expert that can't come down from their high horse to respond in a helpful manner ...

In parting TVAD etc ( well actually there were a few insightful helpful appreciated responses, thx vm ) You can keep playing Your ZERO Game & think You are gaining & winning as you flush more of your endless $ & down Your Porcellan Goddess , but I choose not to , I will endur & enjoy inspite of You & Enjoy My $ system & Life ;)...

Thx T

Charandacafe, you never mentioned doing any research prior to your last
post, and you never mentioned your system or previous cable
purchases. Forgive me for thinking you were just starting out on the
journey. But, your posts made it seem so. Other posters on this thread
seem to agree.

A zero sum game by definition means no dollars are being wasted. I can
assure you that no dollars have been wasted by me during the cable
journey. In fact, this may be the one area of the hobby in which this is
the case.

Here are my suggestions for you:
VH Audio Pulsar
Ridge Street Midnight Special Edition II
Audience Au24

You can try all of these and return them to the manufacturers if you're
not happy, although I'd suggest buying the Au24 used and re-selling,
because it'd be more cost effective if you keep them. You should have
no problem re-selling the Au24.

Good luck. Have fun.

Tvad ...

Yes, I should have made it clearer , but was in a hurry when I wrote it was on my out, also the 2nd post as you can tell from the numerous errors (sp) & in what was put in & left out.

Anyhow aside from that , it is not so easy here to deal with the few dealers with the limited choice & difficulty in borrowing or using in your system to see how they fare for a adequate period of time ( esp. if they need braking in ) 2-4 weeks or so . that's 1 huge problem , and selling 2nd hand used cables is a Royal PAIN IN THE Ass, more trouble than it's worth to me, sorry to say !!!

Also it's very diff. to get back & change or alter my cabling & anything back there, so must be more than sure that the change might hopefully / should be worth it

After my 2nd post & seemingly few positive responses, I got ahold of somebody that could get them ( not a reatier & so cut out the middle man )& let me try both of these cables below ( not sure if I could get other cables in a timely fashion, as I wanted & needed to get this done now, Xmas coming & have company coming soon)so, as from some posts & reviews floating around, I decided to try the Au24 IC's , and got a 2nd Au PC for my Mc MR85 Tuner , already have one on my Mc MA6900, will be getting a 3rd to go along with my Shunyata Power Snake DiamondBack PC's ...

I also got a loan of a new pair of Analysis Plus Oval 9 Speaker Cables all on the weekend , so will no hopefully sooner than later how all fare , well actually I have to replace my CD/DVD p to truly hear the overall diff, but at least I'll know from the Tuner ...

It's been along time since I've changed my cabling ( long long overdue ) & was dreading the fact I have to go back there & tackle this migrane , so that's why I required some thoughtful positive user input , from some ppl that have had experience with some of these to give me a head start & maybe same me a bigger more problematic expensive headache , as I mentioned it is very diff. to tackle this situation on my own ...

So without further ado, I've made the leap & hopefully I 'll be ahead of the game & land on my feet running ... ( Zero Sum Or Not & I do understand that but have yet to win or even come close to getting even, never mind taking alot of Audio & Financial boondoggles , [ just look in my locker :( ... ]

I understand also it's diff. for diff. ppl, so I try to budget as much as I can reasonably afford as I have limited funds unlike some ppl, by the equipment they have & how often they change it ,( maybe more than I should & then some ) trying to keep it down to a dull roar as I said, & then still have enought to take 8 weeks off here & there & go to Mexico in the winter or Korea & Japan etc. Man does not live on sitting in & listening & watching ;)

The world is out there beckoning & there is much to see & learn & enjoy :) & then come home & listen & watch ;)...

I will know in a few weeks or month with or without my new DVD/CDP ...

Thx for ...

That's all folks,

Signing out ... CC :)
