Speaker wire for Pure Audio Project Speakers... advice needed....!
Hello blissed out fellow PAP lovers!
I have been chasing a next level system (for me) and I am on my final decisions / tweaks. I am looking for advice on speaker wire,.
The qualities I seek are golden midrange, reduced high frequency shrill (current issue with system is painful highs), while pushing incredible soundstage, depth, detail, etc... I listen to mostly acoustic, classical, jazz, vocals...
My system currently:
-
SPEAKERS: Pure Audio Project Duet 15 Horn (Mundorf Silver Gold Oil Cap upgrade and high pass filter, Anticable 4.2 Flex Internal wire)
-
STREAMER: Nagra Streamer (Cardas Clear Coaxial)
-
DAC: HoloAudio Spring 2 Level 3 Kitsune edition (Silversmith Fidelium RCA Interconnects)
-
AMP: PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated (Gold Lion KT77 power tubes, Mullard NOS gain tubes)
-
PHONO: Music Hall MMF-9 and McIntosh MP 100 Preamp
Speaker wire I am considering (10-12’ runs)
-
DUELUND 12GA: $500
-
ANTICABLES: 3.1: $430
-
ANTICABLES: flex 4.2: $800
-
SILVERSMITH: $1595
-
CARDAS CLEAR: $4500
Cost is of course an issue, until it the obsession takes hold...! Big fan of high dollar - delight ration.... big fan of not feeling like I am pinching my most glorious machine anywhere...
I am currently running Duelund 16GA, and the high frequency shrill I think I have determined is most likely attributed to this...
Thank you for your suggestions and insight!
