Pure copper seems to work well. I can wholeheartedly recommend Analysis Plus Solo Crystal 8 speaker cables - I have Focal Utopia Diablo's, so not so far from the sound of your 1008's. Paired with my Devialet I'm closer to ideal than anything I've yet tried from Nordost (awful!) to lesser AP, Cardas, Transparent, Wireworld, Harmonic Technology, Tara Labs and Morrow. The AP Oval 9 is spectacular value too though the 8's are just better with more of everything good. I lose interest when the value exceeds a couple of thousand dollars - there's some great used cables if you're patient. I suspect that the new LessLoss C-Marc will be the ones to beat and they've a GREAT deal on early bird purchses.
Cables for Focal 1008be2
Hello,
I’m looking to upgrade my speaker cables for my new Focal 1008be2’s
Right now I have WireWizard Spellbinder by Nordst, running from my Yaqin 100b (KT88 push pull)
Looking for something different maybe a bit more resolving but not bright.
I have Morrow audio interconnects, I like them and was thinking about their sp4 cables.
Any suggestions? I’d like to stay around $500 for a 15-16 foot run.
Thanks in advance.
