Hi Robert - I have to partially agree with Arthur (above) that you should forget the DH Labs cables . They are just not a good match for your speakers either with bi-wire or with jumpers. For far better performance in this setup at about the same price, I would go withthe Analysis Plus Bi-Clear Ovals (or the Oval 12 bi-wire which would be even better). The PNF bi-wire speaker cables shoudl also work well withthis combination and be in the same price range. YES, the VSR speakers will almost always perform better and therefore sound better with bi-wire than they do with single cable/jumpers. Have FUN!
Single, internal bi wire or internally?
I am new to the tube stereo system coming from Solid state I dont even want to look back. I have spent over $7k on my system and I am still not done.
I have been shopping for the best option speaker cables and interconnects for my Shanling STP 80 Amp SACD T200 Cd player. However, I am kinda confused about the cable setup. I have a pair of VR'2 speakers with 4 inputs in the back of the speakers. Some tell me single run with jumpers sound better, other say externally bi wired sound best and other talk about internal bi wired. Well, looking into the DH Labs Q10 series of cables and possibly the interconnects and afterward a good AC Cord which I have no idea as of yet for the AC cord.
Anyway, what will work best for my taste of bass, clarity, definition and all around outstanding performance? Looking forward to your help and experience and honest opinions
Thank you, Robert (Chicago)
