I bet if you did a blind listening test of cable A versus cable B between preamp and amp you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. The brain is easily fooled when sight is involved.
what cable should I buy for my system?
Elements of my system:
Source Esoteric K05X
Rotel Michi m8 monoblocks
B&w 802d3 speakers
With a simple high-quality copper cable, the sound is currently neutral, forward, with an unfavorable wind, but mainly with depth and short decays. It’s dynamic, fast, tight, but it lacks sophistication, especially the ideal space mapping and the long, delicate decay of the sounds. I would think about used cables.. Budgeting is obviously important, but I haven’t done it yet, first of all I would be interested in your opinions on which cable brings what and in what price-value ratio.
Thank you very much for your help.
