All of your responses are much appreciated. It looks like I'm going to have an opportunity to audition some Silversmiths. If they wow me then that'll be the end of the search.
Opinions on speaker cable upgrade
I've been on an upgrade binge and want to upgrade my Acoustic Zen Satori Shotguns. Amp/preamp are tubed. Speakers are Von Schweikert 4 Jrs. If PAD Venustas were less expensive (and more available used), I'd go for those. I need biwired cable. Detail,and imaging important. I'd prefer hearing from those who are familiar with the AZ Satoris and/or the Venustas. Thanks in advance for all of your input. Budget is $1500 used.
