Cable advice


Looking for some opinions on cable mixing. I’ve read that all the cables should be the same brand and same line up to have a more cohesive sound. That does seem to make sense in my head but how important is that? Are you for mixing cables or are you strictly one brand one line and why? What has your experience been?

 

 Thanks

I would say 85% + are probably mixed… maybe. For most of the last forty years mine have usually been. Components tend to differ, so the solution for any two components will likely differ. Sometimes I acquired things at different times and I found a better match.

For the first time I have nearly all the same power cords, cables and interconnects.. but still, I needed to switch brands on my power amp. But now also all my electronics are the same brand and level… something new to me. You can see my systems under my user ID.

This is particularly true if you liked the house sound of your components and therefore bought all of your components from the same manufacture.
