Cable selection for SET.

A good cable to start with are the Speltz Anticables ($80 for 8ft pair). Better
than any Kimber, Nordost, etc. I tried in my system. Alternatively the
Audience Au24 are excellent cables, but the Anti-cables are very close at a
fraction of the cost. The best cable I found for my combination of Fi Super X
(2A3 SET amp) and Cain Abby.

To achieve better high frequency extension, tightly twist the cables and keep
them of carpets etc. Also, since you are currently using 5m pairs of speaker
cables, there is no problem using long runs of the Anticables as long as you
keep them off the floor. I am using 12ft runs myself.

Enjoy your new SET.

Myron, if someone local is selling the Anticables I would give them a try. In my system the 12ft "Anti-Gimick" ($120) replaced a pair of 12ft Audience Au24 ($900 used). The Audience are excellent as well and have a slight edge in detail, however in my system I just could not justify the cost ot the Audience.

I am curious on how well the Yamamoto will work with the Unos! Drop me a line when you had a chance to listen to them.

Best wishes from across the pond,

I doubt if there are cables that are specific to SETs

Going through the arxives on Agon and Asylum, you will see many people preferring smaller AWG solid core wires with SET/high efficiency setup: Audience, Speltz, 47 LAbs OTA, even some recommend 18-24 AWG pure silver cables.

Due to higher sensitivity of speakers and lower power of SET amps, the current requirements for speaker cables are lower, opening up possibilites of using smaller gauge solid core wires.
