You would be wise to consider Luna Cables. They come in 5 grades. I just purchased a complete set (speaker, IC, power cords). Each time I replaced one of my Naim cables with a Luna cable, it drastically improved the sound. The difference was truly shocking. The higher grades (Blue, Ted, and Black) are pricey but the entry level (Grey) or the next one up (Orange) are quite reasonable. They are hand made in Canada.
I'd like to upgrade my speaker wire
I am fairly new here and still learning. I have a Yamaha R803 receiver and Vandersteen model 1s. I'm happy with them for now but I'd like to upgrade my speaker wire. I presently have 14 gauge wire I bought years ago at Best Buy. I need 40 feet. I've read great reviews about Back Cat but I think 40 feet may be a little pricey for me. I'd greatly appreciate any advice on a good quality wire at a reasonable cost. Maybe under $500? BTW, I bought Jim Smith's book as recommended here, great advice, thanks. Doug
