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.

I'm going to take a wild guess and assume your goal is to improve the sonics of your system.

I've had excellent experience with the Pure Note Epsilon Reference XLR ic's and Audience Au24 speaker cables and 6inch jumpers.

Both are very reasonably priced when compared to the majority of cables mentioned. Yet the PN ic's and Au24 sc's have been stated by some in these parts to be better than the Valhallas.

I have not personally made that comparison, but I will say that the Au24 sc's have made the biggest sonic improvements of any ic or sc I've demo'ed or owned in my system. And by a wide margin.

-IMO
