other speaker cable, what to buy


My current speaker is 5meters long. I needed that length previous. However things have changed. Now 2*2m or 2*3m would be more then enough.

The speaker cable I have now is a Wireworld Atlantis 5. I was thinking of replacing it by a NBS dragon/fly. Before the Wireworld I hade Nordost Reddawn is I remember correctly. The nordost cable wasn't what I was looking for. I think they are not neutral but it is hard to explain what they do sound like. To my ears the Wireworld are more neutral.

My set:
VPI Scout
Lyra Dorian
CEC TL51x
Wadia 12
Symponic Line La musica
Impulse Aria SE speakers
Cardas Hexlink 5c interconnects
DAC has a NBS dragon/fly power cable, the rest are standard power cables.

I would prefer cables that are easily available in Europe and don't break the bank, I'm on a tight budget so I will only be looking at 2nd hand.

Mogami 3103 and supra ply 3.4 are very problematic cables. The Mogami sounds very dark, heavy, slow and atmospheric with rolled-off highs. When i put it in my system it sounded like i thrown blankets to the speakers. I really felt sick with this cable on. The Supra Ply 3.4 has many problems ,too. The first big problem is the lead voacals which sound laid back and very muddy. You will not hear a thing of what the lead singer sings with this cable. The second serious probelm with this cable is its stereo image. It is not balanced and it draws the vocals to the left side. It's like the plane is leaning towrds the left side. That is very annoying. Libery ultracap has many problems too. Skip all the budget cables, that's my advice.
