Got excellent results using Mogami cables for speakers and interconnects. 3103 for speaker level and 2549 for interconnects. Mogami is popular in the recording studio and live performance industry. My source was a pro-audio supply house. I self terminated the speaker cable myself with high-spec banana plugs, purchased the interconnects pre-made.
Speaker Cables : Moderate priced
I am about to embark on upgrading speaker cables ( long over due ). Currently use Tributaries 12 awg UL copper cable. I need a long run for one speaker ( about 20 feet) and this has impacted the budget. I hope to spend around 1500 dollars. Looking for a musical tonally rich sound. I am not a detail nut.
Looking at the usual options: triode Wire, Audio Art Copper, Ice Age, Luna cables to name a few.
Wonder what the crowd has experienced in this price range; and open to new suggestions.

@retrocrownfan @vernv . . . +1 and +1. Plenty good, designed for what we use them for. No need for anything else imho. I would add canare to the short list. |
I think Mogami and Canare share some good attributes as pro audio gear that carry over to home audio. They seem to be low capacitance, well shielded cables that provide durable low noise connections in studio and live performance usesand are priced according to that market’s business to business value limits. In bulk for speakers they’re real bargains. I think I have only have about $500 total spent in cables and have enjoyed a significant improvement in my listening at a good price by shopping around outside the audiophile arena. I splurged a iittle on a 75 ohm coax cable between my DAC streamer and my un-powered preamp switch after I read a little bit about how to manage line level digital gain into older amps. Modern DAC output is a little hot compared to vintage amp line levels, it turns out :)
