Cables recommendation


Hello everyone,

I currently own 803D3, C2700 pre and MC462 amp. I also have an Oppo 105D and  Denon X4700 that power the surround speaker. I’m now in the look for cables to fire this system up the best I can but to keep the spending reasonable. I currently do not have any cables.

I’ll appreciate everyone’s opinion and suggestion on cable speakers, power cables, interconnects from 2700 to 462 and other cables I should buy to get the most out of this system. I know many have similar systems as this one and would love to hear your recommendations.

Another important thing to note is that I do not have a streamer and thought to use the Oppo for this reason (maybe connect it to DA2 DAC of the C2700?) or maybe get a Sonus streamer. 

Thanks 🙏🏼

There is a lot to on[ack here. It would be great to see some photos of your system and venue (there is a place to put them under your user ID). I have a few Oppos. I’m going to have to plug them in and see what they sound like. But I have found that a high quality streamer is as important to digital as is a good turntable and cartridge. I prefer Aurender.

 

The big names in cables and interconnects are:Audio Quest, Transparent, WireWorld and Cardas. You can try cables through The Cable Company. Just for fun I tried sets of Blue Jeans and a couple other low cost ones and found them to be no better than the ones in the box with your Oppo.
 

The better your system the more difference interconnects will make. Your system is very good. As a test, I recommend you buy a single power cord… an AudioQuest Hurricane… ok, if that is over the top… go one step lower in the AudioQuest line. You are likely to be shocked at the performance gain. This is likely to be a great demonstration of the value of this stuff. This is a good way to tiptoe into these accessories… by experiencing what they can do. Buying inexpensive stuff you are likely to be disappointed and disillusioned.
