Yes, I know that Cardas is recommended, but I have an all Ayre system, and nothing was quite as bad as Cardas. As a matter of fact, Ayre branded cable is Cardas. I don't know why Ayre recommends it except perhaps for the bottom line. I use the cheapy Anti-Cables. As I mention in other posts, I have had just about every top notch cable in my system, and nothing was as good. Audioquest Silver was my second choice, but clearly a second choice. Cardas was absolutely the worst...the power cords are particularly bad. I use a balanced configuration on my VPI tonearm and use the AntiCables from the XLR out of the VPI to the Ayre K1xe in.
VPI table owners, help please.
I'm using the SuperScoutmaster with VPI signature arm and Dynavector XX2 or 17D3 cartridge. I'm using an Ayre P-5xe phono stage. Was wondering what cables you guys & gals have been using (or not using because?) between your arm and phonostage? I run RCA from arm to phono. Looking in the $500.00 range new for 1m pr. Any opinions would really help.
Rest of the system is VPI SDS, Ayre K-1XE preamp, Parasound JC-1 monoblocks, and Thiel CS7.2 speakers.
