Cable recommendations for my new (preowned) system...


Hi folks,

I’m looking for some good suggestions on speaker cables and interconnects that will mate well for a system I recently put together: 

Proceed AMP 2
Adcom GFP-750 preamp
Revel F30 speakers

My source is an Arcam irDAC for streaming. I will be adding a dedicated cd player (or transport) at some point.

Thanks,
JSB

The Cable Company has a used cable site. Most cables are 50%.

Given your equipment I would recommend all copper which would not overly highlight the treble and generally be a little warmer. I would not spend a lot of money… say less than $50 per set. At the cost level if you spend too much the investment would be better spent on component upgrades. As your system changes the resolution increases and the greater the difference interconnects and cables become.

Typically:

copper is warmest
silver coated copper intermediate 
all silver very detailed but will highlight any flaws in components
When I had a modest system I bought some real high end cables. They sounded terrible… passed along all of the signal. Twenty years later I pulled them out and tried them out on my vastly superior system. They sounded fantastic! Be careful not to get ahead of yourself.
