What speaker cables can complete with Audience 24e or 24e SE for less $$

To mitch2, Thank you for the recommendation, I will check out the cable as soon as possible on e-bay.

To Matt Miller:  I did own a Morrow MP-3 interconnect used  between a Rega Apollo CD player and different combo of separates about 9 years ago. I was not impressed. I switched to a Chord Cameleon IC  which made an audible difference with the Apollo.  That said, I never tried their speaker cables which could be Morrow's major product strength . It is worth serious consideration

The major mags treat Morrow like the company has the plague, I have never seen a review of their lines in either TAS or Stereophile

Can you inform us as to what your set-up is???   Thanks,  SJ  

To jafant  Thank you for the advice. I read an article in Stereophile by I think Art Dudley about experimenting with a Nordost "loom system"  He outlined the pro/cons of the system in general, that is, some cables in the loop may not have the synergy with  particular interfacing components

 Correct me if I am wrong, but I never seem testimonials by cable manufacturers endorsing the  "loom" concept, maybe Nordost, possibly a few others.  Sure any  cable manufacturer would love customers buying their "full loom", and not their first tier line stuff either. To Nordost's credit, they display the cables within a tier, or model by model of the same tier level and show the differences in price as you move up the line 

Thanks to those who responded in the last two days.

To shadorne.   Again, good points especially about upgrading speakers as long as you have good basic speaker wire.

I did not want to start a new thread regarding the following comments I have often heard from members:

"Don't try to tailor the sound quality of a speaker with either speaker cables and/or interconnects between key source components" 

That might quality as "good common sense" advice, in some instances, but  I can characterize the sound of several different brands of speaker cable I have owned since 1988. that made "notable" improvements in the sound quality, and they were not necessarily big bucks wires or ICs.

There were no night and day differences, except for "switching out"  my long term " GO TO" interconnect, the  Audiomagic Spellbinder II interconnect (used first  between amp and pre-amp, and then consistently between pre-amp and a Rega Apollo CD player)... with the  CHORD CAMELEON  IC.  Every CD sounded smoother with much less glare and digital artifacts.

I can also tell the improvements in coherency across the board using two  previous generations  back,  Harmonic Technology Pro 11+ speaker cable. My other speaker cable I occasionally switch to is Grover Huffman Z series speaker cable ( I don't know its generation history) Unlike, the HT Pro 11+  the GH speaker cable is more dynamic, forward in the midrange, with deep bass, yet a touch of zingy but non-fatiguing highs. 

I don't switch out these cables to "TAILOR THE SOUND"  but because I like what each offers separately. However,  I do prefer the overall balance of the HT Pro11+ 

Therefore, I don't subscribe to the "school of thought" claimed in the above  paragraph # 4  We all search for the sound quality we want to hear by different paths..... Cheers.  SJ

To whitestix:..... mitch 2;.... dorkwad  Thank you for the extended comments

  I need to study your comments recommendations carefully. Today is not good, because last night there was a religious festival about 200 yards from my apartment complex which was accompanied by up by a drum and, bugle band playing music that sounded like a bad Santana rendition. The thunderous drumming, and horn playing continued until 4:30 AM when I had no choice but to call the police who ended the racket

To  soix,  Thanks for the comment, I actually considered AZ Satori, but opted for their Hologram 2 which was even thicker than HT speaker cable. The AZ H2 was very nice sounding, but awkward  to connect and lay out  When the  "dear" wife, and, later, even  the cat tripped over it a few times, I put it up for sale on AG..  However, I might check out the Satori because it is much thinner and manageable. SJ

A member on this thread recommended Grover Huffman new "Empress, The Ultimate" speaker cable.

Is anyone currently using this  new model??. If so , what is your thought on the sound quality and overall musicality??. 

I still own an 8 ft pair of Huffman's "EX" series which is very good sounding speaker cable which a tad bright and forward, but more dynamic than the Harmonic Technology Pro-11+  speakercable I mentioned above in the thread.    Thanks, SJ
