Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable..what a delusion

Hi folks
I recently bought a pair of Nordost BH speaker cables, after many hours of burn in (they were used, however) the sound still being lean, harsh in the upper frequencies and after all they lack some weight.
I'm now looking for a fair neutral, big soundstage, and with a lot of punch and kick in the bass region pair of speaker cables.

Right now I'm using Nac A5 with better results.

Bouget 500 bucks more of less.

lenght required 4mt - about 13ft

the rig is the follow:

ampli: hegel h100
speakers: Ruark Talisman II
cdp: Naim cd5i
analog source: Rega P5
Ics: virtual dinamics

ps. where I live now I'm not able to audion any cable, so any advice is very welcome.

I always thought the BH was over hyped

you may want to try Audioquest type 4 or Discovery 123

these have been known to be giant killers

otherwise the AZ is a good choice though may be slightly warm (not neutral)

I use Woods $6 extension cord (White Lightning) with amazing results but no longer available I am afraid

I have also heard Cardas sound terrible

system synergy is the key

good luck

I agree with Soix regarding Satori sonic qualities, Hologram goes a step further in extension and a bit more neutral

fwiw
ymmv

you probably know this but try to listen to them for a few weeks to really know what they sound like then switch to the second pair
