The Right Speaker Cables


Looking to try new speaker cables. I just tried a pair of Nordost Superflatline cables in place of my Blue Jean Cables. I found the Nordost more detailed which i loved but they didn't have the fullness that Bue Jean provides me. I find the Nordost having a leaner sound. My price range at this moment is around $500 for the pair. Suggestions on other cables I could try.

My System:  Amp - Parasound A21+, Preamp - Parasound P6, Phono Amp - Parasound JC 3 Jr, Turntable - MOFI Studiodeck with Ultra Cartridge, Streamer - Bluesound Vault 2i, Speakers - GoldenEar Triton One.R

These will provide all the sonic benefits of other cables at a fraction of the cost (minus the expectation bias).

Consider these super value cables.  I bought the cable and made my own with 100% copper spades and braided black sleeves. I was shocked how good they sound.  They replaced DH Labs q-10 sig and it wasn’t even close.  Fuller warmer sound with improved bass, Mids and clearer highs. They are a copy of Kimber Kable 12TC which run $1000 +.  I just tried them for fun and glad I did.

In Audience Cable I trust. Music alway sounds natural and balanced, but somehow more special their wire.

Ohno is a great entry level cable, but I'd recommend pushing up to Studio One (the new AU24se) which is more than your budget, but if you're patient you could probably find one second hand. AU24SX level could be an end game cable for most of us.
