As far as budget speaker cables go, I'd suggest you at least give anti-cables a try. They have speaker cables and ic's. You can return them within 30 days if they aren't to your liking. The price is right and the price to performance ratio is great. Send them back if you don't like them and try something else. Check the Audiogon review on anti-ic's. I've also tried Signal Cable and while they are decent budget cables, you can do better imho, including their magic power cord. For a power cord I would look at a Supra Lo Rad, new for about $80 and nice.
Confused on cable, interconnects and ac cord?
Well, I am on a budget however I am looking for well rounded options instead of making purchasing mistakes in which I already have. I purchase a set of DNM cables and Interconnects not too long ago for almost $300 not much buy audiophile standards however I was and I am still on a budget, to say the least I am not happy with my purchase do to the fact that my sorround sound speaker cables which are Acoustic Research blow the DNM cables out of the water. I will not be using the Acoustic Research on my current tube system that consist of Shanling STP 80 amp and T-200 SACD and a pair of Von Schweikert VR2's speakers.
Since I am on a budget and I have spent already about $7k on my system and I have some construction project in my property I cant overspend on good quality cables atleast not at the moment. Currently looking into DH Labs, Signal Cable and YES Zebra Cables and usedcables.com My overal budget for the cables is at around $500 to $600 and thats for everything!
I am new to the tube world and basically I dont even want to look back on solid state so I need all the help that I can get for some good quality advise and not hype overpriced cable market.
