Greetings,
I cannot speak to the Clear Day cables, as I am unfamiliar with them. However, I can comment on my experience with Inakustik cables. Like many audiophiles, I have owned numerous cables over the past 40+ years - some good, others not so much. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become increasing unhappy with cables that are either overpriced or unwieldy and difficult to dress (perhaps more a statement on aging than anything). So, I started looking...again.
I stumbled across Inakustik while surfing the internet, and was intrigued by their marketing materials. Cables that were thick and fat, yet light and easy to dress...how could that be? Unfortunately, other than Inakustik’s own information, I couldn’t find much in the way of reviews or comments. Regardless, I decided to take a leap of faith and purchase one of their Reference power cords. I was hopeful, but wary. Much to my surprise, just changing one power cord made a noticeable difference in improved sound quality. So much so that over time I ended up changing all the power cords and interconnects in my system to Inakustik...with each time a really nice jump in sound quality. But the pièce de résistance was when I purchased the Inakustik LS-4004 bi-wire speaker cables for my Gamut RS7i speakers. Yikes...what a difference! Talk about peeling the proverbial onion! Since this post is getting long already, I won’t detail all the differences I heard. Suffice it to say that the previous forum posters are “spot on” in their assessment of the cables, and I wholeheartedly concur with what has been been written.
Are there cables better than Inakustik? Perhaps...I’ve not heard all that are out in the market, and I can only speak to my personal experience. However, I can say that the sound emanating from my system is the most musical and enjoyable it’s been over the past 40 years, and that I can (and do) spend hours and hours listening to music with zero fatigue. Isn’t that what this hobby is all about? Moreover, I believe Inakustik products have played a huge part in getting me to this point.
My final comment is that to my ears Inakustik cables in general, and the LS-4004 in particular, are the “real deal”...truly end game cables. Are they expensive? Well, yes...and no. When you consider build quality, ease of use, sound performance and price, I believe they are about as high on the value proposition scale as you can get. I highly recommend giving them a try.
Ring the bell! This is a brand that deserves more attention!
Happy listening...
