Im going to regret my cable question


Having read so many "do speaker cables matter" threads, reviews, etc., over the years I am going to open up this can of worms again. So here goes.

I would like some opinions on the pairing of my amp, speakers, and a possible upgrade of speaker cables. My kit consists of a Rotel Michi X3, S2 and Monitor Audio Gold 300 G5's.

Would anyone venture a suggestion on what might be a good fit, with a budget of no more than $1200 CND.

I currently have Audioquest Type 4 which are some years old by now. Im looking at AQ Rocket 33 or 44's but I am open to other brands.

Although I understand the "coat hangers work just as well" theory I would prefer only constructive suggestions from those who feel there is a benefit to cable upgrades please.

Cheers.

They may get it from Cardas. But the dielectric may be more important than the quality of the conductor material.

Quick online search turns up many sites, including Google AI, that say AQ gets copper smelted by Cardas...curious why decooney not at liberty to reveal this ...

If you’re hunting for high-quality USB or Ethernet cables that won’t break the bank (around $300), I can’t recommend Missing Bond enough. Handcrafted in France, these cables punch way above their price tag—and come with a return policy in case they don’t blow you away (though I seriously doubt you’ll be sending them back).

I recently went all in: I replaced every single cable in my system with custom-made Missing Bond cables. The result? Not only did I upgrade the sound, but it didn’t cost me a cent. By selling off my previous stash of overpriced cables, I actually came out ahead.

There’s also something to be said for synergy. Having all your cables from the same manufacturer—sharing the same design DNA—matters. It brings a kind of coherence and consistency that’s hard to ignore.

To @jl35 when I typed this during the work week I did not have a chance to re-check what was public or not any more.  And last time a colleague asked both OEM and the selling MFG, neither would confirm either way.  And, figured one you in the well informed camps might say more. "I see nothing", with eyes and ears covered, lol :). There you go.  yes
