New room forces longer speaker cables. K2 must go
Hello All,
A move to a new room is going to require that I no longer have my amp sitting in the middle of my speakers. Hence the Audioquest K2 72V bias 4 ft Bi-wire pair has got to go. What I am in need of is a reasonable ( HA! ) pair of Bi-Wire speaker cables in the area of 18 feet in length. I do love the K2 sound but just can not spend the coin on a long enough set.
The rest of the cables in the rig are 100% silver DIY. 22 awg with teflon dielectric and Cardas XLR and RCA terminations. I tried about 15 different cables including AQ Sky 72v and liked the overall balance of the DIY best by a large margin.
System:
Dunalvy SC-IVa
2 Velodyne HGS 15s connected via the speaker level inputs
Ayre V3x power amplifier
Ayre K1Xe Preamp
Dynavector P-75 phono pre with MC enhancer circuit engaged
VPI Aries original with 10.5 arm
Dynavector Karat D 17 MK II
Musical Fidelity M6 Dac
Ayre CD 7xe Mp ( used as a transport AND as a CD player )
Squeezebox Touch with Digital only out software mod and a ton of power supply and cap mods. Plays FLAC and 24- 192 files from a NAS.
Looking for ideas. Trades even. If you have a long set of cables and want to try monos near your speakers the AQ K2 is excellent cable.
Let's see what thoughts you guys might have.
