I see from your system posts that you just got the Vons in March 2014. Give them a few more months to break in before you start making changes. IMO. Plus, your ear needs to get used to the somewhat different presentation from your old speakers. In my experience, swapping a more expensive cable for a cheaper one is not the solution. If you want to fool around with cables, buy a run of 12 gauge Belden from Blue Jeans and play it for a month or two. Then put back your old cables and see what happens. Good luck.
Anyone Experienced Douglas Cables?
I saw a review on Stereo Mojo about these custom made cables that the reviewer claimed sounded better than his 1,000.00 cables. I am looking for a 20 foot pair of speaker cables and the cost is quite cost prohibited with the well known brands. I can get these cables in a 20 foot pair with Vampire gold spades for 300.00. I am presently using a 20 foot pair of Groneberg Quattro Reference cables that cost me 1,200.00 which worked well with my Odyssey amp and Odyssey Kismet speakers as the amp and speakers were wired with the same cable.
I am now using Von Schweikert VR-33 speakers and feel I need different cables. Anyone, please chime in?? The VR-33's sound great with no apparent bass, mid or treble problems and I have a wall to wall soundstage, but the speakers do not engage me like the Kismets did. I am hoping different cables can get the magic back.
