Cwlondon- Do you see a patern here? I do. Everyone likes what they have! SURPRISE! The best advice I can give is listen to everything you can(in home is the best), no two people can agree on what cables to use.

Cable Fetish: Exotic, Warm and Romantic
Hello Everyone. I am soon to complete my latest system which is a combination of vintagey high end with SACD: Sony SCD1, Audio Research SP-11, Mark Levinson 23.5 and factory fresh Magneplanar Tympani IVas. Since about 1980, I have had an old pair of Monster M-1 and M-1000 which have sounded OK with several different systems including Maggies, Apogees and Martin Logans. Some cable gurus have said they are just fine, apparently this was one of the early products and designed by Bruce Brisson. However, I am wondering if I might be hopelessly out of date? If so, could anyone please recommend something for my "new" (old) system that would be exotic warm and romantic that I could buy used on Audiogon for a reasonable price. While I don't want muddy bass etc., all I really really care about is glorious midrange and a lack of glare and fatigue. Beautiful exotic construction would also be a plus. Thank you and best wishes.
