Not an expert but super pleased with a mix of chunky Mogami 3103 DIY speaker level and smaller gauge custom Mogami interconnects from Pro Audio LA, including a Canart-like digital coax from Mogami for the slightly longer run RCA to 1/4” for my main amp input. Very affordable studio spec cable known for low capacitance…good match for my warm Wharfedale Lintons and REL T5i speaker array.
Budget re-cabling
I am considering re-cabling (changing out receiver, SACD player) on the main room system (5.1 and 2.1).
Front: B&W Nautilus 804 Center: B&W HTM61 S2 Rear: temporary Infinity Reference 2 or Dayton 2 way.
HDMI Oppo 103 to Onkyo TX-RZ810: if critical at all, budget $30 or so?
Cables: new speaker for front/center. 10ft left/right each, 6 ft center (or 25 total). Budget $5-$6 per foot (may consider suggestions up to $10 there is something to gain).
I know this budget is mind bogglingly high (never spent that kind of money on cables, but want to go all out).
So what are the best speaker cables for way below $10/ft? Good comparison tests (with price in mind)? Maybe comparison with 'DIY' or 'Repurposed' (using commercial cable repurposed for audio)? Links? Read ups?
NOT INTERESTED IN PIXEL DUST and ESOTHERIC CABLES.
