Interconnect advice needed


Hi

I need an almost 10 feet interconnect between pre amp and power amp. Both with tubes.
I know all cables affects the signal and naturally I I want this effect to be as small as possible.
I've just bought Klipsch Heresy IV and I don't want the cable to emphase the midrange bump in these speakers even more.

Any suggestion for a cable this long max $1000?

It would be interesting to know which cables you compared Mogami Gold with and what made Mogami better.

Did a quick search on the net and found this about Mogami Gold:

"Mogami is the recording industry standard, and I have a home studio wired up with Mogami Gold.
That said, I did try the XLRs out in my home system between DAC, preamp, and amp, and they were handily crushed by Audioquest Colorado. The Colorados are not the most impressive XLRs I have owned. Mogami are reasonably priced industry workhorses, but are not very impressive compared to most audiophile cables over $100."

Hmm... I´m in Sweden...
Just the cable and the connectors with shipping, tax, and fees will almost be as if I bought say, Wireworld Eclipse 8, 3 meters/10 feet (which I will try out this weekend) here in Sweden.

That was a very odd comment. Is my English that bad?

@digsmithd
I would love to test these cables made by Chris Van Haus. But it's too much hassle when living in Sweden.

@kota1
I will actually have a pair of Supras for evaluation this weekend too.

@ghdprentice
I will try out Wireworld Eclipse 8 this weekend. Do you have any experience of them?

@muvluv
This cabel will not be near any other cables (behind my cd-shelves), so I think it will be fine.

@retiredfarmer
I need 3 meters (about 10 feet) and a budget at $1000. I will have Wireworld Eclipse 8 for test this weekend. But I don't know how much that will say if ghdprentice is right when he says "it takes a couple hundred hours for them to break in".

@duynguyen7307
Yes, I´v heard about the SKW cables. Problem is the thickness. I don't think there is space enough between my CD-shelves and the wall for them.

Exactly, the cabel is to be used between an tube pre amp and a tube power amp.

I don´t think there will be a problem with 3 meter RCA-RCA interconnect. I haven't seen anyone saying so. And why would manufaturers offer this length?

@audphile1
I don't think there will be a problem with a 3 meter (10 feet) RCA-RCA interconnect. If the length was the double maybe I would run in to trouble.


Many votes for checking out Supra. Will be interesting.

Thanks for a really interesting and informative post.
Have you any recommendations for damping material? 
Feels a little scary to remove the horns from the box.

I will try another thing first. I read on another forum a post from a guy having the same problem. He got the advice to experiment with toe out. I have tried many placements, but not that.

Actually, I like the British polite sound more, but I can´t find any speakers sensitive enough for my 12w SET.

@waytoomuchstuff 
Toeing in the speakers did not work for me. It only messed up the imaging.

Very interesting. Unfortunately not available here in Sweden. And I'm a little "afraid" of silver cables. I like the warmer sound from copper cables.
I have found a brand none have mentioned; Neotech. They have a copper cable called Nemoi-3220 that seems interesting. I will test that cable coming weekend.
