Bang for the buck vs. “money no object” cable recommendations


Latest system consists of Musical Fidelity A308 integrated, Arcam irDac and Revel F30 speakers. Looking for speaker cable and RCA interconnect recommendations that are best bang for the buck. Also asking for ideal “if money we’re not object” recommendations.

The OP asked us for 'cost no object' recommendations, so here goes:

Most of us don't have the money even to rent these cables so we won't have heard them but I did 10 minutes googling.

Siltech Triple Crown power cable costs £55,000 for 2m.  Price of a very luxury car.
Anyone heard it? (not that you can listen to a power cable).  Please read my previous posts on power cables before reaching for your wallet.

By a strange coincidence Siltech price their Triple Crown speaker cable, 2m stereo, at £55,000.  Clearly the manufacturing costs of these different cables are not the same.  So the £55,000 price has been plucked out of the air for the mugs to latch onto with both hands.

Siltech Triple Crown interconnect, 1m XLR, is a relatively affordable £25,880/pair.

By the way Miller, did you get to hear any of these?

I disclose that I have used Siltech interconnects for 25 years.  Much cheaper then and certainly not the flagships (no funny metal boxes).  I like them and have seen no reason subsequently to experiment or change.


Hi Iseland.
Mostly a rant!  But I did address an explicit part of OP's question so I was on-message.

Yes, I do like the low-end part of Siltech's offerings and generally the sound of silver interconnect.

I would like to hear from any member who has splashed 55 UK big ones on a pair of wires.  If they will admit to it?
