Speaker Cables and Digital Coax: Pine Tree Audio or Signal Cable ?
Looking for some cables that are a good value and I've seen these two companies mentioned. My system is pretty good: Van Alstine SET 400 Amp, Van Alstine T-10 tube pre-amp, Salk HT2-TL speakers, Denon HEOS LINK music streamer, Rotel RCD 991 AE CD player, and I recently added a Merason Frerot external DAC. The Merason was a nice improvement on an already nice sound. I have a Pine Tree $45 S/PDIF cable from the HEOS to the DAC and it sounds good but I have nothing to compare to. Yet.
Can anyone recommend, or compare these two companies products ? I'm on a budget so I'm looking at the entry level S/PDIF cable between the CD player and DAC, and would like to try some of their entry level 10' speaker cables with banana connectors. Thanks.
All of my cables are OCC, cope or silver. I like pure silver for digital and Audio Sensibility is pretty reasonable.

Good digital cables can be a significant upgrade, ignore the naysayers. |
