Speaker Cable Recommendation


I'm wondering if someone could recommend a pair of speaker cables.  I have looked at Nordost entry level, but they may be too thin for my system. Looking for cables that may add some "weight" to the following system.

Decware 300b tube amp (8watts),  Klipsch Forte IV,   Holo May Dac, PS Audio BHK Pre with 12AU7 input tubes. My room is 20X12, not treated, vaulted ceiling, fair amount of glass. Not a great room :) In the $1,000.00 range

Thanks, Mark

ghdprentice,

well unfortunately you're wrong again the top Nordost stuff is beatable and it's very overpriced as well they use regular silver wire, OCC single crystal silver sounds even better and the rectangular OCC single crystal is even better than the round single crystal, Neotech The Amazon and The Sahara which is their flagship cable line would beat the Nordost silver and copper top of the line stuff.

akg_ca,

obviously you don't know the price of the neotech the Sahara and the Amazon and obviously you know nothing about wire either The Amazon starts at $8,000 US for 2 m nothing cheap about that and obviously you've never heard it either, and just because Nordost charges ridiculous amounts for their speaker cable doesn't mean it can't be beat in fact the Amazon which is the rectangular OCC single crystal wire beat an $18,000 speaker wire and it was probably Nordost but I didn't ask the retailer if it was, wire companies like nordost, transparent audio, MIT and all those other rip-off companies charging an arm and a leg for cheap OFC wire like transparent and MIT uses is a joke and it's time for people to start waking up and seeing them for the ripoff artistd that they are, it has now been proven for over 50 years that OCC single crystal is far superior for audio than anything at any price OFC and if you don't know that by now maybe you should start doing your research a little bit better, and regular silver that Nordost uses is nowhere near as good as OCC signal crystal and the rectangular OCC single crystal is even better than the round OCC, Nordost does not use OCC single crystal so they're already starting with an inferior conductor material. and obviously you should read my post a little bit more carefully never did I say that I didn't like Nordost in my system, so please don't put words in my mouth thank you very much.

Jacobsdad2000,

I'm not a homer at all I'm just stating a fact, most of these companies use silver plated OFC which is the cheapest junk wire you can get out there, just because it's silver plated so what, just for your information OFC wire has 1500 crystal barriers per foot, that's little fractures in the wire that the signal has to jump across that shears off minute harmonics which screws up the sound, OCC single crystal has zero crystal barriers per foot, maybe you should do some research and find out about all this stuff, I'm not saying anything that's not true, OCC single crystal both silver and copper were shown to be far superior to anything at any price  OFC cheap wire 50 years ago,companies that charge 18-28,000 or more for wire are just total ripoff artists, think about it for a second what can you do to a piece of wire to make it worth that much, absolutely nothing, so if you want to get ripped off that's totally up to you, I choose not to, and and for your information the rectangular OCC single crystal wire is even better than the round OCC single crystal wire, you can't change physics.

ghdprentice,

have to correct one mistake I made Nordost does not use silver wire they use silver plated copper OFC junk so they're really ripping people off, they don't even use pure silver in their wire lol

Jacobsdad2000,

I really don't care whether you read my posts or not and obviously you're very ill informed and stupid if you think that OCC single crystal silver and copper is crop you obviously don't know very much about cables and your system is probably crop as well lol, and I don't care whether you buy neotech or not I could care less but you are very misinformed about cables like I said maybe you should start doing some research and reading or can you even read? and just so you know my system is worth $72,000 and if you would like me to list what it is I'd be happy to and I can even show you a picture if you like, I've been an audiophile for over 40 years so I know what I'm talking about, whether you choose to listen or not I could care so keep buying your silver plated OFC junk wire and paying a lot for it lol, makes no difference to me, unfortunately uninformed people like you make stupid decisions.

The best cables to use is any company that is using OCC single crystal silver or copper far superior to anything OFC at any price, any company that is still using OFC and charging exorbitant amounts for it is totally ripping people off, it has been proven now for over 50 years that OCC single crystal is far superior to anything OFC on the market so if you're going to buy cables at least use cables that have the best conductor material regardless of which company it is, if they're using OCC single crystal you know you're going to get a product that's better than anything OFC.

here's a PS, I forgot to mention that rectangular OCC single crystal wire is even better than the round OCC single crystal wire and the only company that makes it is Neotech.
