Vitus RI-101 mkII cables recommendation

Thanks! The rest of my system is made of less expensive except for the Linn LP12 turntable which I have gradually upgraded over 10 years.

as a dac I have a relatively affordable holo audio spring 3 kte which I’m happy with, and a Rock nuc i7 as Roon core. Avalon Idea as speakers which I have paid 1/3 of their retail price.

I don’t want to spend more on cables but just replace the Nordost with what could be a better match with the Vitus and the Avalon. Hopefully some owners or people with more knowledge than me will chime in.

@carlsbad2 

thanks for checking my system. The speakers are in top condition. The Vitus needs more of a fine tuning than a significant sound presentation change.

@ryder 

those acrolink cables must be truly amazing. Unfortunately far of reach even second hand. I thought focusing on power cords first. Need to find cables that’ll work on those aspects but more affordable than the references you’ve mentioned. I need some fairy dust to add a bit of rounder and organic flavour knowing I’m not dealing with tubes.

@lalitk thank you I’ll look into that. Yeah my plan is to work on it from PC and leave speaker cables at the end. I have just tried using a Naim Powerline PC with the Vitus and AQ NRG X3 plus 2 mains stock cables from some components, IC Tellurium Q 2 black diamond and still not impress. Maybe this very amp has some issues or I had too high expectations. The Avalon Idea / Vitus is known to be a good match but who really knows at the end. I enjoy the little McIntosh MA5300 at low volume. Too get some excitement with Vitus I have to turn the volume up too much for my habits.

@facten thanks. Anyway I think I’d better sell the Vitus. I think I need a more musical and engaging amp like Pass int. 250 which was my initial plan.

@tecknik you mean for having my ears accustomed to its sound? I got it second hand so no need for burn in. Frankly I was expecting to be blown away at the first listening. How come I don’t perceive a significant enough improve vs a basic McIntosh MA5300? Maybe my ears are not that sophisticated. I wonder if cables can actually make a big improvement. Anyway I’ll put a loom of tara labs Forté recommended by a Avalon / Vitus dealer and specialist in the UK. Need to find power cords good but not as expensive as Shunyata Delta. Even if I’ll ditch the Vitus at one point I’m getting neutral cables with higher specs than current ones.
