I also recommend DNM cables. http://www.dnm.co.uk/cables.html
Good entry level cables
Hi allnewbie here and I am totally confused. Just when i see and decide on a cable, another thread pops up recommending a different one... and I don't have time to keep changing different brand cables around to see what matches or sounds best. I probably only have an mid level system? So I need a consensus (not gonna happen haha) of what I need minimum now and for what piece of equipment.I have what follows- My room is 20x16. Ceiling height is 10'. Equipement is in the rear of the room. So I need speaker cables from FOH to the rear. This is new construction so I can place cables in wall or in ceiling. Probably 30' run of speaker cable. I've looked at monoprice, BJC, and others recommended on here that are REALLY expensive. I'm already over budget lol. Solid core, insulated strands?Power cables?Interconnects?In order of importance. What is the minimum I need? Best for the money?
Equipment as follows:
Atlantic Technologies 8200 - 2 fronts with 2 subs, a center, 2 pair surrounds4 Revel in-ceiling C763L for dolby atmos
Lexicon RV9Sony VPL-vw695es
Audioquest Niagra 1200Lexicon DD8-A for in ceiling revels (not purchased yet for $999 new) Anything better in this price range

I stumbled on to an internet company(ebay), Pine Tree Audio. He makes oxygen free copper interconnects with nice shielding, high quality ends. I had 6 ft speaker cables and sub cables and I got all my wires and interconnects for $1000. This also includes a heavy duty cord and junction box he made for me and a couple nice power cables with high quality plugs and shielding. I tried Nakamichi banana plugs on my speaker wires and my cat managed to break them off. I sent them back and had spades put on them and He didn’t charge me anything. Also got to be kind of an email friend. Very honest. My system sounds better than it did with Audioquest at double the price. Also, all the stuff I got was his highest priced so you could spend less. I did buy a Blue Jeans Cable Cat 6 for my streamer. |
I highly, highly recommend you check out James Schmitt at Schmitt Custom Audio Cables. I use his stuff for everything on my Stereo. He has many options to choose from and it’s top quality work you’d pay much more from many other cable companies. I particularly like the interconnects he makes with vintage Western Electric Wire!! https://www.schmittcustomaudiocables.com |
