(Used) speaker cable replacement suggestions for Virtual Dynamics David?

Hi Guys –

I have been happy with my Virtual Dynamics David speaker cables for many years, but having moved to Europe and built a largely new system, I suspect that they may not be quite as synergistic as they were with my previous system. So, while I am well-aware of how difficult it is to recommend with confidence given the vagaries of system synergy and room acoustics, etc., I'd welcome any thoughtful suggestions.

My previous system included:

Jeff Rowland Concentra I

EMC-1UP CD player

Green Mountain Audio Callisto speakers

Accuphase T-101 tuner


New system:

Modified and re-capped Accuphase E-303x

Harbeth P3ESR speakers

EMC-1UP CD player (same as above)

Accuphase T-103 tuner


A few additional footnotes:

– my room acoustics suck, i.e. lots of hard surfaces, irregular dimensions, etc.

– I actually do have my Callistos here in storage now, but have not A-B'd them with the Harbeth/Accuphase

– I do not assume that one speaker is necessarily better than the other, but have found the Harbeth to be very open and forgiving of the poor listening space

– I confess that sound, while primary, is not the only reason for my considering a replacement of the Davids, as it would also be nice to work with something less thick and stiff

– broadly speaking I listen mainly to jazz, funk, and world music

– not looking to spend big money, so please keep any specific suggestions under around $1000 (used)

Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

Tony C.
