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

@derfman66 Something to consider…

Some approach wire as a "tuning component" by mixing and matching silver (brighter and airy) and copper (meatier) across brands to get the sound to their liking. Others buy "full" looms of a single brand because they like the tuned House sound of the manufacturer.

I fall in the "full loom" crowd and recommend you sample the Ohno III speaker cables with matching Audience Ohno RCA interconnects from the source.

The sound you like will find you eventually with time and testing. Be patient and enjoy the journey.

 

Morrow cables.  get the "4" or the "5" for 50% off on their constant sales....

very good, and very balanced, not so bright, natural sounding on the top end.  MASSIVE difference in that and 12 gauge standard wire.

axpert,

Germany doesn't make OCC cable, there's only one company out there license to make OCC now and that's Neotech, and there's even a better OCC conductor now, it's rectangular OCC far superior to the round OCC and Neotech produces in their Foundry, Neotech supplies pretty much everyone with their OCC cable.

fpomposo,

can't see how the anti cables could ever beat audience, I was on their website and they use ofc conductors which are very inferior to OCC I see that you're using OCC everywhere else so it doesn't make sense not to use OCC speaker cables, but there is something better than the round OCC now it's rectangular OCC and it's even better than the round OCC not cheap though, Neotech produces the rectangular OCC.

axpert,

I was on the Reality Cables website and nowhere does it say that they use OCC single crystal wire and I went through their whole website so I don't know where you're getting that from.
