Choosing new cables
I am looking to upgrade my current cables. This should be my last system as I retired a few years ago and most of my components have been seriously updated in the last couple of years. I have been in this audio hobby for about 50 years and have always have great sounding musical systems.
My current cables all work and sound great but are 15 - 20 years old. So updating is what I need. I am budgeting around $10k - $15k for all new cables.
I have always felt the i/c's were the most important cable followed by the speaker cables and the power cords. However I am now leaning towards spending more on the power cords followed by the speaker cables and last the i/c.
I know all cables are very important but how would you prioritize the cables? Any suggestions on any brands would also be appreciated!
Emphasis on power cables is simply wrong. Yes, spend money on active power conditioners if you have a dirty supply, but not on passive cables that just pass raw juice. Spend money on active cables, ie those that pass signal. My order would be I/C Speaker and, a poor third @wolf_garcia Please explain how one cable can 'lift up' other cables. |
