Yes, a speaker cable upgrade would be crazy. If you already have a coat hanger or at least plain old 12-14AWG OFC, there is nothing you can buy on God's green Earth that will sound ANY different, at all. That's both an objective and subjective fact if there ever was one. Anyone here telling you different is not an audiophile and knows nothing about physics and science of sound. That, or they work for one of these snake oil cable companies that straight up lie to consumers about their product. Just OFC with no bells or whistles, that's the cream of the crop.
Worthy upgrade?
I recently upgraded my system to a McIntosh 9500 integrated and Sonus faber Serafinos. My sources are Innuos Zenith Mk 3 and VPI Prime with Valhalla tonearm cable and a Soundsmith Zephyr Mimic Star cartridge. Most of my cables are Nordost Heimdall 2, with an Audioquest Hurricane power cable to the integrated. My current speaker cables are Nordost Heimdall Frey 2.
Now my question is whether a speaker cable upgrade would be crazy? In upgrading the speakers I thought a speaker cable upgrade was in order. I tried the Nordost Tyr 2. I heard a significant improvement in the sound. But, is the upgrade ridiculous in terms of the rest of my system?
This may be a stupid question so please be gentle. 😎
thanks.
