12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable?

@ghdprentice

+1…but with a big qualifier;

(A) it’s trending IMO as a poor $$ investment proportionally to invest in the NORDOST option cuz it may be a large disproportional excess outlay in this system.“ Price is what you pay, Value is what you get, “ Warren Buffett

(B) Without prejudice to (A) above, the hoped for significant audio performance improvement from upgrading to the NORDOST cables in your system is likely nominal at best .

Bsckground Issues IMO:

- it sounds like the current CU-12 “ heavy gauge” cable is not up to a premium OCC grade cable (Y/N?) But it is budget friendly as its primary choice driver, correct?

-Automatically selecting audio cable “heavy gauge” options in isolation over a thinner gauge is meaningless as a key determinant in audio performance proposed improvements .

- a quick scan on the web kicks out EBay ads for the speakers at $350, and ads for the receiver at under $300. (Y/N?) If so…then the prevailing rule of thumb philosophy of an investment in audio cables of say, 10% ( max 20%) of the system, is proportionally modest too ….. Ergo, this excludes the NORDOST BLUE HEAVAN cables with their pricepoint alone likely exceeding the FMV of the rig combined . If so, then Simply put, IMO it’s overkill to your wallet , and an audio performance uptick likely won’t be there to the degree you hoped for.

MY TAKE: Choose wisely.

An A-B bakeoff to compare and validate required, if you are still committed cheerfully to fork out the not-insignificant added cash for NORDOST. The degree of their audio improvements - if any - in YOUR SYSTEM (a fine but important distinction) - might actually be enough for you.  But only you can weigh and decide ….. Carry on,

I clicked on his profile. The OP is a brand new AGON member who only joined up nine days ago; and this is his 2nd post.,

Assuming that it was a legit post, then we’ve collectively laid it out for him that his approach is not a happy ending. Maybe, we jurors in the AGON Court of Public Opinion, collectively can cut him a bit of slack for an honest but very poor choice on the newbie learning curve .

..just sayin’,…

TO THE OP:

(a) There is a lot of experience and knowledge chiming in here.

(B) TAKEAWAY:
(1) The $$$$ NORDOST cables are not a silver bullet fix for you in your current system

(2) If you still wanna keep them, then we strongly recommend that you first consider upgrading your system (…electronics AND speakers…) as budgets permit.

(3) So …. Read, Learn and then choose wisely,, sir.

@middlemass

+ 1 maybe,,,.

It is not impossible that this was just a perverted and  lame thread by a tin hat keyboard kommando .

Disappointing…and if so, the OP will be watched for any repeat offence.
