Upgrading My Vinyl Set Up


I am looking at some changes to my vinyl set and am looking for user feedback. My PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP Tube Integrated Amplifier has been upgraded with Tung-Sol KT-150's and my speakers are Focal Aria 936's. My current speaker cables are Nordost Blue Heaven though I am looking to change them to the Cardas Clear Cygnus. Anyone else have a similar set up? My end game speaker is the Sopra No 2 however I don't want to go with the cable change if it won't be top notch with the potential speaker upgrade. Thanks for your input.

The Sopra 2 can sound great driven by it-subjective, of course. The same setup by another set of ears will be heard differently.

You will also get responses the Sopra’s should be driven by "X" SS/tube amp, and "X" brand cable.

Buy the Sopra’s and just listen with your existing cables, then evaluate after a run in period.

Speaker/room setup is priority over cables used as a tone control.

I use Nordost Heimdall 2/Frey2 wall to speaker.

As suggested, post in the cable forum, and you’ll get more detailed responses on why it will/wont work with your choice.

Demo as many as possible, and just eat return shipping charges, if any
