The best speaker cables you’ve had


Simply put, the best you’ve owned and/or heard.

Back when my ears were "young".  The best I heard was a generic "Orange" TrueValue Hardware 12g extension cord with the ends lopped off and terminated into spade connectors with McIntosh tube amps and/or Technics SA-1000 into Inifinty RS-IIs. Granted, back then it was all Lamp-Cord or Bell-Wire anyways.   

In my 50's now, and although I can still hear up to 15K, I doubt changing cables these days are worth the time/effort/cost.  LOL.  I stick to BlueJeans and Mogami these days and am totally happy.

I've tried many cables, including some costly ones, but still using the old Zu Audio wire: Libtec speaker cable and Varial interconnect. There is something about these long discontinued wire that makes it a keeper. Perfect mix of neutrality, transparency and musicality.

Also using a Kondo silver interconnect (which is far from neutral) for my old modded RA Opus 21, but they are just a match made in heaven. 

Also love the old Cardas Golden Power cables and still using it in my system as well as Shunyata Python.  

i’ve been using monster cable for almost 40 years. i’ve heard them in stores next to high end cables and cannot detect a difference.

i have noticed an improvement with shielded interconnects between components and preamp and preamp to amp.

i've also noticed a difference between terminations between amp amp speakers.  gold spade lugs soldered to the cables appear to be the best.

I’ve tried Blue Jeans, Audio Quest Granite and 1 other inexpensive cable, I cannot recall the name, before upgrading to Audio Sensibility Signature. The Owner said the AS Signature would be the last cable I would ever (want to) buy and I believe he is right. All of the cables I tried were used on the same equipment and the level of clarity using AS was like lifting a veil from the speakers. There are crisper highs and bass depth I had not previously heard. This is not an ad for AS cables. I’m sure the there are other fine cables that will perform as well.

I’m 70 years old and have significant hearing loss. But, I can distinctly hear differences in each one of the speaker cables I’ve tried. Anyone who does not believe there is a difference either hasn’t heard different cables or doesn’t have equipment capable of picking up the sonic differences.
