Looking for cabling upgrade ideas from my current cables.
The cables you have are pretty good because they use OCC copper. but their weak point would seem to be thsir insulation and their connectors.
I would look at Audio Envy and Zavfino cables if you want to improve things. Both use OCC copper, but they have better insulations (i.e. lower noise floor) and better connectors
Your Parasound components are actually well deisnged and built and they will perform much better if you upgrade your cables
Most components manufactured in the last 10 years will perform signficantly better if you use higher quality cables.
Some might argue that your components do not warrent expensive cables, but I have been building cables for my own use for arouns 15 years and can assure you that even a $350 mini system sounds significantly better when treated to good cables.
Good cables will last you a lifetime and they will allow you to hear the differences between components, when and if you decide to upgrade components.
Without good cables, a component upgrade can be a hit or miss proposition
If you have not upgraded your power cables take a look at Audio envy and Zavfino PC’s. They are very well designed and implemented and should make a noticeable improvement
Take a look at this thread, which discusses the various aspects of good cable design
What I have Found - Makes a good cable
Hope that helps
