Before you change cables I would check out Add-Powr products which upgrade the actual signal in your cables and your gear. Might as well start at the source. Does @cohsystms have any suggestions?:
Choosing new cables
I am looking to upgrade my current cables. This should be my last system as I retired a few years ago and most of my components have been seriously updated in the last couple of years. I have been in this audio hobby for about 50 years and have always have great sounding musical systems.
My current cables all work and sound great but are 15 - 20 years old. So updating is what I need. I am budgeting around $10k - $15k for all new cables.
I have always felt the i/c's were the most important cable followed by the speaker cables and the power cords. However I am now leaning towards spending more on the power cords followed by the speaker cables and last the i/c.
I know all cables are very important but how would you prioritize the cables? Any suggestions on any brands would also be appreciated!

The goal of ADD-Powr products is to increase the musicality of the audio system from the AC power source to the delivery of the signal to the speaker. +1 @bobheinatz , I have invested in cables, power conditioners, and add-powr products. When I upgrade a cable I it upgrades 1 pathway and then you have power cables, interconnects, digital IC, HDMI, USB, and ethernet. It is time consuming and yes, worthwhile. When I plugin an add-powr product it upgrades the entire system, from my PJ to my speakers. It doesn’t take any time, is a single product, and upgrades the actual SIGNAL that is carried through every cable and component in the system. |
