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!

Make your own - Mogami is the wire that most speaker cable manufacturer use.

 

Happy Making Cables.

I may have a pair of Clarus Aqua eight foot spades all around for sale in the next few days. Moving up the chain.

I also have a pair of PAD tri-wire Venustas at 80ish inches, all spades.

Both sets reasonably priced over there.....😉

 

What are your current cables so that we have a point of reference. 

+1 @audphile1 Also, what interconnects are you using and what preamp and source are you using?

Be careful with Cardas, some love it but many do not like it at all...I use Cerious on all my systems...

Cardas Beyond for all. The warmth should help tame the system.Used Cardas Gold Cross.

Why not just go up the AQ line? Robin Hood Zero may be?

and add an AQ power cord for your amp. Should be good synergy and not bright. 

My experience is that Cardas Golden Reference is rolled off at both frequency extremes but has a wonderful midrange. I'm using some Audiomica cables that I've been enjoying for several years after being on the cable merry-go-round.

Albedo Monolith Reference 

Zafino

Iconoclast

Silversmith Fidelium - about 1k and has many fans on this forum, maybe a bargain

Used Tara Lab RSC Air Evolution Speaker Cable - their best bang for buck in comparison with their top of the line cables aka their best sound but at an more affordable price point.

 Madison Audiolab E3 Extreme 1 cables. very revealing cable, and neutral I would say, not dull or flat, will take out the shrill.
