Help me pick some new or used speaker cables
Let’s say the budget is $2.5k
Speakers are (modded/upgraded) Chapman T-7s driven by a Rogue dragoN.
The T-7s have titanium tweets-which I might like to tame or smooth ever so slightly.
I listen to Qobuz exclusively, lots of Rock(Zeppelin) & house (Satin Jackets) Female soloists (Norah Jones)
Thank you audioholics!

Thank you all. |
@audphile1 Stuart (Chapman) actually upgraded my T-7s about 15 yrs ago w new crossovers & tweets. I suspect that’s when the SEAS(?) titanium tweets went in.
power cords are mix of Shunyata & I just bought a Cardas golden something (used). So I think I’m going Cardas for a loom/synergy and ease of finding. I like 0.5m lengths because I can & I like to keep it tidy behind the stand. Thank you everyone, again, for your input |
My preamp is a MW LS100 with Sophia 6SN7s and a NOS Mullard 5AR4 rectifier. They’re prob still burning in at 100 hrs or so, but these are pretty premium. I’m not really complaining about the sibilants or harsh transients because that’s not really what I hear. Someone asked earlier what I would like to hear differently from cables and that’s about all I could <maybe> find lacking. I’m really getting used to how all this new gear performs & having a blast. Speaker cables will be last. I am aware of the cable co.s library program & will prob use it. My plan is to take the next month to get all this new gear settled in and then audition speaker cables. There have been a lot of auditory changes in my rig over the past two weeks & it’s been a fun ride getting back into this hobby-esp. w digital streaming. Wow! thanks everyone! |
