Perhaps it would help if you explained why you are referring to criteria relating to speaker cables when you should be focused on the balanced cables between your source (pre amp?) and your new (to be) amps? Or am I just missing something?
Inter Connects - What I know and don't know
I've been researching Balanced Cables in anticipation of adding a new pair of mono-blocks (Atma Sphere Class - D) to my system. I'm hoping some of you who know a thing or two about cables might help me (us) clarify or demystify certain assumptions.
My assumptions:
- You get what you pay for ($300 Brand X will produce more detail than say $60 Mogami Gold).
- The larger the gauge the better.
- Crimped and soldered connectors are better than screw tightened.
- Two or more large braided strands are better than several smaller gauge braided strands (all things being equal).
- Silver conductors are better sounding and measuring than Copper conductors.
- Rhodium, Gold, Silver, Copper, & Brass, connectors objectively sound different. (as opposed to in your system).
Remember, the more objective your responses are the more helpful they'll be to a majority of readers.
Thanks in advance for your "feedback"
