Audience Au24 speaker cables with Vandersteen
i am auditoning the au-24 and i am really surprised such big sound comes from such small cables (they are still in the process of breaking in). Btw, the people at audience are very nice, i called them up and left them a deposit for a 30 day auditi...

Cardas Golden Cross vs. Golden Hexlink 5C
the hexlink is less colored. dont get me wrong, both are "warm cables". but the golden cross is one of the most colored cables i have every heard. very rolled off higs and lower midbass bloat. can work well in some systems.hope that helps,mike

Audible Illusions L-2 vs. Cary SLP-98
Both sound very, very good. I dont think you can go wrong with either. Both come with remote and are single ended.The cary is a little more colorful (in a good way)with incredible dynamics and bass. The Audible illusions is a little more netural (...
