I'll give you the benefit of my journey over the last 12 months.
Note that I am using low power SET power amps and high efficiency horn speakers. Here was my journey:
- Bluejeans Cable
- Wireworld Mini Eclipse 8
- Wireworld Equinox 8
- Audioquest Rocket 44
- Cardas Clear Cygnus
- Audience Ohno III
- Nordost Red Dawn
- Blackcat Coppertone
- Blackcat 3232
- Grover Cable SX
- Tempo Electric Pure Silver
So here are my thoughts. (1) at the <$600 price level there isn't much difference in sound between the different companies / technologies / materials... with a couple exceptions. (2) at <$1000 there are definite differences that are easy to tell. (3) The cables that worked best in my system and were head and shoulders above the others were in order:
1) Grover Cable SX
2) Audience Ohno III
3) Tempo Electric Pure Silver
I ended up keeping both the Grover SX and Tempo Pure Silvers. Hope this helps in some way.
