Blue Jean Cables. I am of the school that claim cables do make a difference. The differences are very dependent on the system. Proper AWG for speakers is important, and length makes a difference (mostly in rolled-off high end). Capacitance can be important, especially at very low signal levels (phono stage, for example). But if you are only shooting for 90%, anything will do. Blue Jean cables will get you to around 98%.
Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money
I currently have a system which consists of Vandersteen 5A's, THor Audio TP-150 tubed monoblocks, Thor Line Stage and Thor phono stage, Marantz SACD player SA-114 and will take delivery of the VPI Prime Scout with a Sumiko EVOS 3 Cartridge. I am currently using LAT International Speaker Cables, Power Cords and Interconnects. (They are no longer in business). I am in immediate need of turntable cables and would like to update my new speaker cables and interconnects. Not willing to spend thousands on this upgrade. Seeking to capture as much of the "magic" that the super expensive cables deliver but at a more realistic price point. I understand that I have really good quality equipment, but at this stage of my life cannot allocate mega dollars towards cables.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
