What cables would you recommend?


I have a Wadia 850 i'm running direct into a Classe CA200 and a pair of Thiel 3.6s(I also have Maggie 2.7QR and ML Aerius, which i alternate). I'll be inserting a tube preamp(probably AR LS2B Mk.II or BAT VK3i) in the future. Right now I have Cardas Cross XLRs from the cd player to the amp and PAD Elementa speaker cables. I'm thinking of going Cardas exclusively. What are your thoughts? Thanks for any inputs you may have.

If you really made up your mind that the only thing you want to buy or try right now are speaker cables, the new Purist Audio Museaus rev. C or the Acoustic Zen Hologram II are my recommendations. The PAD Museaus is better than the Colossus rev B upon hearing both IMO and its price runs about $585 for a bi-wire 10 ft. pair. The bi-wire version really have twice the amount of wire(a true internal bi-wire) compared to the single run. On the other hand, the Hologram MK II from Acoustic Zen are much better than the Satori, the latter receive tremendous praises from owners who frequent this site. I can definitely be added to that statistics as well. These two cables(Museaus and Hologram MKII) are the best I ever tried and the only pair that stayed in my system.
