Question of priorities in audio cables


As far as I can determine there are 3 things that go into making an audio cable- whether an IC, power cord, or speaker cable.

Those are the cable, the connectors, and the workmanship. I've considered which is most opportunity, and which is least important. To me, I think workmanship is the #1 priority, followed by the connectors, and then the wire itself.

What do others think?

In my experience, the connectors contribute most to the cable... workmanship?? If it works the workmanship is fine if not, .......
Stevecham....I totally agree with Anti's. They now make various levels...I had them all, and every level is certainly an increase in sound. I have my balanced cables with Xadow ends. Nice. I too tried many, many different brands...my favorites are Audioquest Sky/Everest. My Anti's are so similar, no one I asked (wife, neighbors, UPS man) could tell me which ones are better.
