@soix No problem spending $3-5k on speaker, interconnects $1-1.5k each, but not fixed. Running balanced DAC to pre, pre to amp. RCA possible. Digital system of CD transport, streamer, DDC and external clock with higher end Audioquest coax, Tubulus I2S external clock to DAC. Tubulus BNC clock. Used ok, depending.
Neutral-ish Speaker Cable
I have the best system I’ve ever had due to recent major component upgrades. So now I’m thinking speaker (and other?) cable upgrades. Maybe. I like the tonality of the system overall so don’t want to veer too far away from that. If anything, maybe just a hair more dynamics might be nice. Current speaker cables are Audience AU24 SE bought about 10 years ago. Interconnects are a mix of mid-range from major manufacturers, and power is TWL and Audioquest.
Wondering if there is a good replacement for speaker cables first (although no doubt others will say start elsewhere). Again, something that is fairly neutral so as not to affect tonality too much. TIA.

@fastfreight I’ve read a lot about KS but had the impression the lower-mid and bottom end presence might be a bit more than I want, it reminded me of the term "thick", not in a bad way like congested, but just the extra presence. I might be wrong on this so feel free to add more, thanks. These might be a bit out my price range too, but like I said I’m willing to go where the sound quality is, within limits. |
@dekay Thanks for remembering that. Yes the Rogue has been running non-stop with 200+ hours already and I have a set of burned-in $$$ Amperex Holland 7316s installed. Heavenly. @jsalerno277 Not familiar with the WyWires, thanks for the heads up. @sls883 The Fideliums are so cheap and so highly rated (cable of the DECADE) that I just ordered a pair. And returnable. But still looking and still taking feedback. And thanks for all the other great input from everyone. |
