I use Virtual Dynamic Signature cables with my Chardonnay. The Signatures are no longer produced but you can get used Signatures or Nites at very good prices. Please note that they are heavy cables so you may need to provide cable supports to avoid pulling on your preamp too much. Anyway, these cables are very smooth with lots of detail. I also don't experience any hum problems. Check out their web site http://www.virtualdynamics.ca/ BTW their power cords are very good also.
Cables Supratek Chardonnay
Hi
My Supratek Chardonnay arrived (changed my impression of music - superb). Mick from Supratek used to recommend TMC cables and lately Audience Au24.
Here's what I am looking for:
- SILENT cables: the Chardonnay brought a bit of Hum & Hiss to the chain (because it's a high gain and so it is the power amp). TMC cables are highly shielded and people claim these are dead silent. Don't know about the Audience Au24.
- TIGHT bass: the problem here is my living room which is small for my speakers (Sonus Faber Cremona). Here and there the bass gets a bit boomy.
These are the main issues for me. Of course, the cables shall not have bright highs (not at all) and one other thing I strongly enjoy is air, lot's of air. Also, no mega buck cables please.
Within this framework, what would you suggest: TMC, Audience or any other?
Thank you.
