Cables for Classe/B&W system?

Thanks Krell1 for that interesting insider story about Jack White's purchase. I own some White Stripes and Raconteurs releases and enjoy them in spurts. Anyway, one particular televised performance by Jack White totally blew me away. It was at a U.S. Presidential honor for Sir Paul McCartney. So here's this audience in the East Room?? of the White House, Sir Paul and Obamas in the front row, various musicians stroll out and perform McCartney and Lennon/McCartney songs then Jack White comes out and performs solo, just him and his guitar doing (and here I apologize, I think it was Mother Nature's Son)a White Album song, all I can say is wow! This was something I saw on Public Television. If you get a chance to view this PTV production, a high recommendation. Sorry for straying from OP, though somewhat associated because of White's ownership of B&W and that White is prolific, stylistic, contempory musician of note.

Anton,

I think the recommendation of visiting brick & mortar stores is sound, as well as The Cable Company. FWIW, the store where I purchased my B&W used to recommend Nordost (which they carried, of course) with B&W and Classe or McIntosh. I have Mc tubes so can't be of much help there.

Over at the B&W forum experienced people tend to like Nordost, Transparent. If I lived in the US I would take The Cable Co up with samples of PAD, Transparent, and Nordost and hear for myself.

I hope this helps.

PD: Nishna, do I count as a VERY brave sould having recognized I like tubes AND B&W? :-)

Lewinskih, I was going to mention McCarthyism... oops.
;>)
Cool that you have good results using tubes.
When I started reading AG forums I really didn't know much about tubes and I graduated with a degree in electrical engineering in '86. The only time I heard about tubes during school was when one of my professors stated that the Soviet air force still used tubes in aeronautical electronics since they were resistent to EMP ( from nuclear weapons)unlike solid state. Of course our oscilliscopes had cathode ray tubes but never learned anything more than elementary electromagnetic principle of CRT operation. I do remember seeing tube testing consoles in stores that sold TV's in the early 70's I now find myself the owner of a tube driven phono amp but plan to stick with solid state down stream of that.
