I do not believe that your combination of speakers/integrated will be revealing enough for you to hear any cable upgrade. Don't get me wrong, I am a firm believer in cables (I run Tara Labs 'The One' throughout) but your speakers and integrated won't let you hear the full benefit, if any, of a cable upgrade. I would upgrade the speakers first. If your budget for cables is $2k - $3k - I'd push it to the $3k and get some good speakers (used on audiogon - more bang for the buck). Your ML Motion 40s are not high fi at all. You need to start there. Once you get good speakers, save up for a good integrated. Your source is definitely decent. Once you're there, you can go to the Cable Company - they have a library of cables you can borrow and see what sounds best with your system. Enjoy.
Would my system benefit from cable upgrades?
Hi All,
So I am wondering if my system may benefit from Cable Upgrades.
I consider my system to be very entry level
I have the following main components:
- Vincent SV-500
- Martin Login Motion 40 Speakers
- Mo-Fi Studio Desk TT
- Technics SL-G700 SACD Player
- Questyle DAC
- Jolida JD 9 II Phone Pre-Amo
As for power connections, I have a IsoTek Sirius EVO 3 Power Strip and entry level AudioQuest Speaker Cables and Power Cables.
The interconnects at the moment are pretty generic.
I am thinking about starting with the Speaker Cables and at least the Power Cable for the Amp to upgrade to something more substantial.
But also wondering if it would really be a benefit to my system or would I need to upgrade to much better components for cables to matter?
If I start dropping a few thousand on all the cables (speaker, power and interconnects) I wonder if I would experience a difference?
Just wanted to get opinions.
Thanks
