Buy some good quality 12 gauge zip cord. Strip 3/4" of the insulation and tin the bare wire with a good quality silver solder. Form a "U" shape with the bare wire and put around the speaker and amplifier binding posts. Bi-wiring is not necessary. Then buy, borrow or rent the most expensive and highly recommended "high end" speaker cables you can get. Invite friends over, audiophiles if you know some. Blindfold them and do a blind comparison listening session listening to the same tracks for the same amount of time for each cable. Have them take off their blindfolds and keep notes before putting them back on for the next track. The results will surprise you. I did this and the end result was about even with the zipcord winning by about 5%. So, I recommend the zip cord. It sounds just as good and is a whole lot cheaper.
2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy
Looking for experiences and recs for current mid to upper mid level cabling solutions
I’m talking about ICs and Speaker cables that do not require plans for high jacking an armored car with a couple gallons of chloroform and a helicopter with a really big magnet?
Neither is it a matter of seeking out an ‘all system’ same brand and model loom, though it could be.
In Your opinion and or experience which signal cables (or mix of) have proven themselves recently to enable a revealing system to maintain or demonstrate its integrity, truth and musicality on its best level?
Or, in other words, With which current line of wires or ‘cables’ would you feel very confident using to connect your upscale stereo outfit in 2017?
New, or pre-owned?
… and why, please?
Thanks so very much. j
