Upgrading


My cables are a little on the ancient side ! I’m using Virtual Dynamics . Power one David series power cords , Testament series inter connects and signature series bi wired speaker cables . In which order should I start to replace my cables ? Budget is an issue! Chers

Power cords, Interconnects, then speaker cables is my recommendation.

Try to get a full loom going if you can swing it. (Avoid "Cable Stew" of all different mixed/matched brand names/types. Though I admittedly have a couple of different PC’s in my setup at the current time.)

Used Cables on the ’net are good folks, and I highly recommend them.

Ever notice how the cable deniers almost never have their systems listed?

Ever wonder why that is?

@theaudioamp , yes it makes sense.

If you run with the premise that cables DO make a difference (and I can assure you they do in my system. It’s easily demonstrable....), matching manufacturers that take the time to R&D their products and design them to work well with each other makes perfect sense.

If you don’t agree, fine, but there’s a reason companies have different levels of cables. And it’s not necessarily because the more expensive ones are prettier. It’s because they work well and sound good together. 

Happy listening!

 

@theaudioamp ,

Shame you missed the "work in progress" part of the description of my room.

;)

"Nasty" LOL.

I don’t care what you buy. Really don’t. That’s the reason I didn’t mention a specific manufacturer.

You’re struggling to come up with some kind of justification for your viewpoint.

I think you’re in over your head, and you know it. Buy whatever you want. Don't buy whatever you want. Just might want to dial down the rhetoric a bit.

Happy listening!

 

 

 

@theaudioamp , I just uploaded a new pic I took about 10 mins ago.

Will post more as they filter in on my email. I'm not sure you can see the SR HFT's I have all over the place in the room, but I assure you, they're in there. :) Let me know when it meets your approval.

Not sure I understand the "projecting" comment, but sure, if you say so.

I still think PC's, interconnects and then speaker cables. Sometimes a change in cable can be rather startling.

Happy Listening!
