I have heard Tributaries cables and never found them lean sounding. They make the McIntosh branded cables which can go for thousands of dollars. My personal choice is Canare 4S11 cable. The break in time is around 500 hours but they sound great right out of the package. I bought an 18 foot pair of them terminated with banana plugs for $120.00. They have been in my system since January 2021 and they are the “keepers” I had been looking for.
Speaker Cable Recommendation to upgrade Tribuataries in Wall UL rated cable
This is probably an issue I should have investigated years ago, instead of constant component searching. I have always found my system a little thin sounding but have neglected to look at my speaker cable. I have been using Tibutaries SPB12UL 12 AWG copper cable, as when we built our home we were under the impression we needed in wall wire- which turned out not to be the case. I wonder if anyone has used this cable? I think an upgrade might be worthwhile. I am looking for an organic musical sound. Richer in tonal quality. Budget 2-3 K for starters.
