speaker cable question


im trying to find new pair of cables im looking at the following pair

crystal clear audio magnum opus 2

harmonic technology pro 13 and 11 reference 

shunyata venom 

 

just wondering what anyone thought of them and how they sounded etc pros cons 

128x128willybeats84

i know they are all solid brands 

i own harmonic technology interconnects and they are beyond amazing

just not enough experience with any of them past that i am coming from audience Ohno iii speaker cables and AudioQuest low end so looking to spend 1500-2k on some good cables i like my interconnects now and the crystal clear magnun opus look cool lol but the ht and shunyata cables all have great reviews 

I have personal experience with Crystal Clear Audio. Small one-person operation in California. Solid performance, but practically no resale value. Make sure if you buy, you pay half of the “advertised” MSRP. Other than that, they sound pretty good, and good build quality. I never understood where they get the “6N pure silver” conductors, if true, but yes, they sound good.

 

Shunyata Venom is their entry level cable. IMO you need Alpha or above to get the true Shunyata benefits. The power cords and power distributors are the Shunyata forte. Speaker cables…. Not so much

also follow up to what's in my system now lol

i have a perreaux 1850 power amp and perreaux smf3 preamp

also i have a clear audio concept turntable with satisfy black arm and also a hana eh cart and harmonic technology truth link ii interconnects and mirage m1si speakers

I’d be inclined to spend on upgrading your table and cartridge, and investing in tube amps first.

i love my table lol it's not even a year old and to me wasn't cheap and i had some rogue audio stuff and didn't care for them maybe more expensive tubes but can't afford that at this time trust me i would love a dr feickert firebird lol or blackbird with a kuzma arm
