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 🙏🏼

Look into Zavfino cables, much better built and superior performance for not whole lot of money over AE cables. I have had both brands in my system. 

I keep looking at Audio Envy cables. They get excellent reviews. They are not as inexpensive as the Blue Jeans cables but they are still not priced where the big boys are. A 6' set of their top of the line  SP12 speaker cables (ribbons) is  $475. BTW I do not own nor have any affiliation with AE. But I am interested in these and the have a 45 day trial

 

SP12

Audio Advisor sells Audioquest Rocket 88 speaker wire that they terminate.

A good choice or the AQ Type4 if you are price sensitive. I use both, the Rocket 88 is more detailed. 

Audio Advisor sells Audioquest Rocket 88 speaker wire that they terminate. The cost is about 1/3 less than buying the AQ version. It does not have the 72 volt battery pack on it. Oh and it goes on sale from time to time.

As far as interconnects, I usually get what was hot a couple of years ago at half price or less. Check out Music Direct. They have a selection to choose from

All the best.

I also use Audioquest earth interconnects and William Tell bi wire speaker cables with my B&w 802d3’s, Classe Sigma SSP, and McIntosh 611 amps.   Agree, amazing.

I have your preamp and amp with Dali rubicon6

speakers  I am using Audioquest earth interconnects 

and William tell biwire speaker cables   
amazing sound 

 

@jasonbourne52 Cconnect  4ohm speakers using a 12ft aluminium/copper cable cable of 18awg, listen to your favorite track, and then listen again with a high purity copper of 10awg.  Let us know what you think!

Look at morrow. They have a trade up program so you can move up if you wish. The also have sales on now with a substantial discount. They have great customer service also as well. I know some will disagree, and I recognize their opinions. My thoughts are start small and work your way up. Make sure you can hear a difference. 
  With regards to a streamer. I would recommend a Bluesound node. Shop for a used one, easily available at a good price. I did a lot of comparison with all that’s out there and asked for recommendations here on this forum. Recently got a used one, hooked it up, and I’m happy with my choice. It is a great start and you can move up if you wish. 
 Good luck, and happy listening.

If you have a revealing system yes it makes a difference.

  Monoprice! If you believe that wire has an effect upon sound quality then you live in some alternate universe.

I like Blue Jean cable and Signal Cable also. I have an entire duffle bag of cables from Cardas, Raven, Blue Jean, Belden, 

Right now I am using the Blue Jean/Belden Ten White Speaker Cables, Raven and Signal Cable Power Cords, Signal Inter Connects Analog and Digital, Cardas XLR?AES, Cardas Tone Arm wire. 

All of these cables are reasonable priced.

 

I like Blue Jean Cable and Signal Cable for interconnects and power cables and Pangea for power cables and Analysis Plus for speaker cables. But I will admit, I shop in a budget style. I am not inclined to pay too much $$$ for cables...

Kubala Sosna Elation!  I live in an alternate universe and these cables make a huge difference!  My Universe is amazing!
