Where to purchase cables?


 

Where do you purchase your cables?  Interconnects, Speaker & Power cables?

I am building a second system and interested in new and used options.

Thanks for any recommendations.

Hello,

I'm a DIY'er and prefer to assemble my own cables.  Using this option allows one to assemble high end audiophile cables at a 50/70% savings vs the same ready made cable(s).  Another benefit is making them the length that is needed.

Here are my primary sources for raw cable and various terminal ends.

If you have not yet diy'd cables there are several videos that serve as tutorials/guides.  No special tools or soldering needed, just good quality wire cutters, wire strippers, Phillips screwdriver, heat shrink tubing (various colors to give the cables your "signature"look) and a heat gun.  Take your time and you will produce cables you can be proud of.  Oh and the bank that you save can be invested toward other elements of your rig.  Enjoy

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tellurium low budget like the blue and black are very very good.if you can find used.

I agree with @lak who posted above about Veritas Cables. I started with one set of their Magnus XLR cables and love it so much that I just ordered a set of their higher end Argentum R silver RCA cables. I'm also considering power cables and maybe a few others from them. Just very impressed with their sound so far, as well as their customer service.

I can also recommend other small brands like Audio Art and Triode Wire Labs, they both offer great value. 

Audiogon and USAudiomart both have lots of other nice options. I enjoy Black Cat Cables, Cerious, Decware, Audience, Waveform Fidelity, and DH Labs among others.
