Don't waste your money! Wire has the least effect - if any - on sound quality. The wire fanatics will claim otherwise! If you want to hear a real improvement buy a better - usually a lot more expensive - pair of speakers. Let the stone throwing begin!
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
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

NO ONE can tell you whether/how your system, room and/or ears will respond to new/improved interconnects. There are simply too many variables. The only way you’ll know for certain, is try them for yourself. The least expensive way: contact the guys at The Cable Company and take advantage of their lending library. For a pittance, you can try a few of their offerings and the rental fees are applied to any purchase made. In you shoes: I’d try the three Audience Ohno cables, currently available (RCAs/url below), between your TT, DAC, SACD player and Vincent. With new/improved cables, in those critical positions: you should easily gain the knowledge you seek, one way or the other. Even with your current speakers. Whether to explore/spend further: up to you! |

@jay73 -
The short answer is YES!
The short answer is - there is NO need to upgrade! I’ve applied good cables to...
Everyone of them exhibited a very noticeable improvement in sound quality - mainly in the area of dynamic performance - for example...
For that - I would take a look at the Zavfino range of cables They have good entry level cables at reasonable prices
Zavfino also employs a very good cable geometry to lower the noise floor and improve clarity and details i.e. compared to other brands that use a more "conventional" cable geometry. Hope that helps - Steve
