"Septic"? A very apposite descriptive, of so many claims, made on this site. You’ll never know if a good set of cables will make a difference TO YOU, until you try them, for yourself. The Cable Company charges 5%, of their going price, for whatever cabling piques your interest. If you’re truly concerned, that shouldn’t deter. If you like them, they’ll apply the rental to your purchase price. Personally, I’d try a better interconnect pair first, between your DAC and integrated. In my estimation; that would be most noticeable, aurally. Try something older, from either Synergistic Research or Kimber, but- still close to their upper end. Less expensive/still better than most. ie: https://www.usedcable.com/interconnect-cables/synergistic-research-element-copper-xlr-with-mpc-and-tuning-modules-3ft-1m-pair-interconnect-cables.html OR: https://www.usedcable.com/interconnect-cables/kimber-kable-select-ks-1011-rca-3ft-1m-pair-interconnect-cables.html Either of those should cost you less than $50(including shipping), to try in your system.
Cable septic
Okay, I’ve spent a fair amount on my dream system. Voxativ 9.87 system, very efficient speakers, Vocation 211 integrated, ps audio Directstream DAC and power station, etc. I’m using pretty basic cables, mostly what came with my equipment. I still remember a magazine article where they AB tested high end cables neatly separated vs a mess of cheap crap. The result, nobody heard a difference. So, flash forward, what cables will make a difference? Brand and which component in order of benefit. Thank you!
