AudiogoN Forums: Cables – Speaker as well as interconnects

Cables – Speaker as well as interconnects – ugghh

I Recently acquired Conrad Johnson’s MV60SE, Premier 14 and their DV-2B CD player. My speakers are from Tannoy’s prestige series, namely the Sandringhams.

Now I need to connect the dots. I’ve been reading many discussion forums and online reviews regarding cabling and am simply worn out. So much out there and so many opinions! At this time I’m leaning toward Cardas Neutral Reference for runs to the Tannoys and perhaps for RCA IC’s as well.

The added challenge here is that I need to run 6 meters of cable each side to reach my speakers. No, unfortunately I can’t change the placement of my components (electronics on one side of the room as opposed to center). Yes, this adds a lot of $$$.

So, what about the Cardas Neutral line? What about something else in a lesser or comparable price range?

Thanks so much for ANY thoughts!

I also like Signal Cable and Paul Speltz Anticables and have both. Audioquest was always a good value too but maybe not as much as the first two. Nordost doesn't work for me. I get a harshness in the highs.

Al,

Does "benign impedence" mean no measurable capacitance?

Best Regards,

Thanks, Al,
I appreciate very much your taking the time. It means that I should never again recommend a brand of cable. If I ever run into the review of the AR9 that states that the only measurable impedence is in the form of resistance, I will send it to you, although I'm sure that this is true only at the test bench.
Best Regards,
Lynne
