What most important in the sound of your cables?


The most important thing in the sound of my cables are speed and clarity without being bright. I like a natural sound as well with a little bit of fullness. This thread is about telling others what you like and what cables give that to you.

@lse. I also learned that some tweaks you try are also very important in your sound.
I will be doing a demo of the high fidelity ct1 ultimate reference speaker cables . I am using an ultimate reference power cord in my system now. I just added it. It is amazing It added depth, speed in clarity in spades to my system. I was some atlas mavros speaker cables but I will be trying the high fidelity ct 1 ultimate reference speaker cables this weekend. I'm hoping I get more improvements to my sound. I find myself needing speed and clarity but with a fair amount of organics because I hate listening fatigue. I like a natural sound but if it's too dynamic I get listening fatigue really fast.
@jcmcgrogan2. The other day I put that high fidelty ultimate reference power cable in and I took my other power cable out and I got the best sound out of my system yet. I was in the audio matrix. I have a stock power cord on my ear. A stock power cord on my parasound. I tried a clarus aqua and a tara labs the one interconnects. However,I'm gonna add some more high fidelity cables to see if it gets better. It was weird because the minute I put the high fidelity power cable on my amp it was on. I think the speed they added while listening to jazz helped. I like a lot of cymbals and drums and the rhythm was perfect and quick but in a good way. The pianos improved as well.
@jcmcgrogan2. It's funny how cables can't do it all. You want to try to get as close as you can as much as you can. I have found speed in clarity in my high fidelity ct1 ultimate reference power cord on my amplifier. I hope to get a little more of it in. I have a nice balance of what I was looking for. It took me 5 years. I'm trying the ultimate refernce speaker cables this week. I hope it doesn't get better but im scarred it will. This audio journey is crazy. You climb a mountain and it grows. Lol.
@audiolabryinth. Hey what's up. How are things. I hope you have stopped letting folks rile you up. Lol. These forums can be funny. Lol.
Just got the high fidelity ultimate reference speaker cables in my system along with a power cord and a interconnect. @audiolabryinth I had to use a run of the tara labs the one. Lol. However everything is was high fidelity ultimate reference. Now the best part is that I got the veloce amp and pre amp back and set it up today. This sound is to die for. Speed, transparency, soundstage and natural sound. This is the best I have heard at my house. The veloce stuff is all battery power. This veloce combo is special. Good clean power. Musical. Major thumbs up.
It is U.S. Pennsylvania. Battery powered. Not bad power coming out of the ac outlets. Clean, full and transparent sounding. Veloce is a great sounding brand.
@jmcgrogan2 I totally understand the cable burnout. I understand audio burnout. I think this is going to be my final stop. The high fidelity ultimate reference on the veloce right now is about it for me. It is the sound I want. I will eventually go back acquire all this stuff at a later date. I been listening for hours on Friday Saturday and Sundays. That's a sign that I am really happy. I heard good high priced stuff and bad high priced stuff. The high fidelity ultimate reference is great. The veloce combination amp and pre is amongst the best I have heard period. The combination of the two has caused me to have some the best listening sessions I have ever heard. I guess we all chase the ghost. I think I may have caught that ghost this time. Lol.
@jmcgrogan 2. Yes I am using the vienna acoustics beethoven baby grand se. I might need a bigger speaker one day. Has anyone hear the the listz series from vienna acoustics. I like the vienna sound. This veloce stuff is very natural and organic. It's very transparent and has great separation. It is basically one of the beat pre amps I have ever heard in my life. It is very clean with great layering. I'm using the high fidelity ultimate reference speaker cable on it and it is doing well as a system. One other thing the parasound cd1 is delivering great sound to this system. Smooth with no digital glare.
I'm glad you are letting me know your history of ownership of these speakers. I have to really think about what I'm doing. The veloce is really a great pre amp. It may cause me to have to upgrade my speakers which I don't want to have to do. The veloce is great. I might have to think about what I'm going to do really hard. The Viennas are speakers I love because of the sonic signature they have. Thank you for sharing the information. It might add some clarity to my thoughts. Lol.
@audiolabryinth. How are you. I'm glad that I have learned some much this year. I learned a lot about audio but more about people. I have met some really great people in audio this year. I got to meet the guys who make and develop equipment and how smart they are at fixing, modifying and diagnosing issues. I have listened to the top of the heap and budget audio this year. I heard dream systems and what makes them different. I heard some really great stuff and learned a lot. I'm truly thankful for the blessing that god has allowed me to experience this year. It's been a audio blast. I have listened to great stuff from high fidelity cables and be around people who really love this hobby. Some people it's not like that for. They want to put others down to feel better. I won't do that. I've been able to have long listening sessions with extremely high end dream equipment in the last 6 months alone. Wowwww!!! I been on a audio mission. I'm here listening to The jazz of Duke Pearson and Freddie Hubbard and I'm having a blast. @jmcgrogan thanks brother I love my Viennas. I'm going to hold on to them as long as I can they sound great. They make a great speaker.
@yping. It should be easy but we all know it can be journey between cable equipment matching etc.
@stringreen@rja@tubegroover. I found high fidelity ct1. I have been very happy with the high fidelity ultimate reference cable that they have. Open,natural and transparent .
@ audiolabryinth. I can't remember the brand google former nordost designer cables.
Clear and natural like the high fidelity ultimate reference is working for me now. With a great amount of prat.
