Cable selection for SET.


Hia Guys,
I've just ordered a Yamamoto a-08s to use with my Avantgarde duos and I'm wondering about matching speaker cables. My current cables are Kimber 8tc(5 metre pair). I was wondering if anyone had any advice to share on silver vs copper, length etc when using low powered SET.

Thanks for your help with this,
Myron.

Congratulations on your purchase!

I think the best thing to do is to listen to your new amp with the Kimber first before making any prejudgements on what to buy next. Who knows, you might not need a change at all. It really depends on to what degree the Yamamoto shifts the balance of your system and how much you want to compensate for it.

When I went from a solid state amp to a SET amp substituting some silver interconnects and speaker cables in place of the copper ones was a good thing. But I still have a lot of testing, mixing and matching, and evaluating to do.

Enjoy your new amp with your current cables for awhile then decide whether you need a change.

Good luck!
