I've heard mixed results about anti cables. If you are trying to get the biggest bang for your buck and looking for all you described in your original post, I would buy a good set of used cables. I've heard and owned multiple brands and the best cables that fit your description that aren't outrageously priced are Wywires (I've owned the Platinum line). Smooth, refined, tremendous texture on instruments and vocals, organic and natural without additional coloration (such as Cardas). Used cables typically can be had for around 50% off brand new retail.
Power cables and sharp dimensional imaging on a budget, Zu Audio and Furutech or Oyaide
Hi, I would like to create a sound that is highly realistic in the sense of 3d imaging and proportion, but on a budget. Unfortunately I cannot spend the amount of money it requires to buy a Purist Audio Design cable yet to reach that level of refinement.
I am searching for what @bo1972 has mentioned in earlier discussions:
• 3-Dimensional soundstage with proportional imaging (not oversized)
• A sharp individual focus of instruments and voices;
• Blacks;
• Resolution;
• Deep bass;
• Air;
• Articulation of voices
Right now I have a Silverline Clearer Audio powercord, but still feel some things are missing.
I have tried the Zu Event powercables MKI and like their technology for stereophonic realism.
Would an Oyaide F1 IEC help in this respect compared to a Furutech FI28 G or R?
Are gold or rhodium plugs better for 3d and sharp proportional imaging?
