I agree with the Cardas suggestions but, I would make the Iridium line as the lower cut off point. I strongly suggest skipping the 101 speaker cable and also recommend against choosing the low cost CABE banana plugs. The copper in the Iridium cables is much better than in the 101 cable and Cardas says so. The Iridium line is a high bang for the buck product.
Warm, flexible, cheap-ish cables?
All,
I’m looking for a good set of cables (speaker, RCA interconnect, digital coax) to replace a bunch of cheap off-brand cables with something better from a single manufacturer. I have annoyingly specific requirements: they need to be on the warm/forgiving side, need to be flexible at the connectors because of a tight fit behind by gear, and need to be reasonably priced (probably not more than around $250 a piece).
I tried Kimber Timbre interconnects and Kimber VS21 coax, but this combo was too bright/leading-edge focused in my system.
Thanks for any advice!
