One reason why manufacturers and audiophiles cryogenically treat cables 🥶 is because they sound faster. They also sound smoother and more musical. 🎶 I would go as far as to say if you’re not cryoing your cables you really can’t compete. In fact everything should be cryo’d. No, it doesn’t make the electrons or photons run faster, it’s like a perception thing. 😳
Recommendations for fast sounding cables
I've recently acquired a SEP amp based on kt88's and while it presents well in many ways it lacks the speed of my push-pull and ss amps which is typical. Thus I'm looking for some nice and well rounded sounding speaker cables (non-biwire) and interconnects (single-ended) that excel in speed, tempo, PRAT, whatever you wanna call it to try to get some of the head nodding and toe-tapping back.
Transparency, detail, open soundstage are basic requisites as well. I would also consider maybe changing out my
psu umbilical cord, usb, and digital coax. I understand that this will likely involve some or all silver in the makeup of the cables, and while I like a lit-up sound- an overly bright anything will usually get quickly replaced. The budget is not high at $100-$300 new or used but may make considerations for something exceptional that fits the bill. I've gathered that some of the following may work- please feel free to comment on those as well, but I would also like to get some more suggestions. Thanks!
