Well I can't imagine the price tag on the Purist cable, but maybe you should do yourself a favor and see if you can try some OCOS cable. These are only made for speaker connections and are well known to be suitable for use in long lengths. I use a 5.5m pair in my system. No degradation of sound versus shorter speaker cables I own (including a $2000 pair). If you want, you can double up on the OCOS and use two runs per speaker (not bi-wire, same binding post). This is supposed to yield even better sound. You don't hear much about this brand but it is made by Dynaudio.
Long ICs versus long speaker cables
I've described my listening room in several previous posts, but basically I'm working with a huge 14x40 space, half of which is my listening area and the other half is an open kitchen dining area. I would like to keep my rack along the long wall and move the speakers back to the short wall (currently I have a nearfield configuration).
My question is: would it be better to purchase 6 meters of speaker cable or a 6 meter IC?
I think I have read here on Audiogon that some amps/preamps, like Shindo, have issues with long interconnects. I currently have Cardas Golden Ref. speaker and IC cables. The Cardas speaker cable is too bulky and inflexible for such a long run. If long speaker wire is the way to go I was thinking of either replacing the Cardas with Audience Au24 or Auditorium 23. I'm open to other suggestions. Thanks!
