I've had and still have Straight Wire products and they've all been excellent. Admittedly I have more AQ cables in my system but I just upgraded my 5 amp-preamp ICs from the Encore IIs to the Rhapsody ICs and am enjoying a vast improvement in sound, openness, detail, and soundstage. Not sure why they're not in the lime light. I don't believe they advertise much. I had the opportunity to actually tour the factory in Hollywood, FL a few years ago and was very impressed with the hand craftmanship type of operation. They're also real pleasant folks too. Their website was updated not long ago and it is chock full of meaningful technical information.
Audio Art spk cable to Signal Cable. Up to down?
Currently use Audio Art SC-5 speaker cable which is good to very good and is their entry level. I want to move up in sound quality across the board, especially musicality and high end smoothness
I was recommended Signal Cable's "Ultra" speaker cable which is also very reasonably priced, and also entry level.
My question..... Is this is just a side ways move and not a major step-up in sound. Signal Cable also offers the more expensive "Resolution" speaker cable. which I have never heard and which there are few testimonials or reviews about it. My speakers are Acoustic Zen Adagios
