Could some one explain how to buy best cables?


Economically that is. I am really confused. I look at clasified and there is price range from few hundred to few thousands! I am in market for interconnects for my new 'small' Jadis electronics based system.

Could you explain how to differentiate between snake oil and real thing?
What constitutes SOA cable?
What does $X000 cable does that $x00 does not?

thx,

I'm sure you will get plenty of recommendations full of anecdotal evidence speaking of detail, air, soundstage, etc.

However, I do not believe there has ever been a blind test where anyone could sonically differentiate a very expensive cable vs. a cheap cable beyond normal random chance.

Get some nicely made cables from www.bluejeanscable.com and you'll be fine.

If the desire is to have something a little more special, then have the cables made with the Belden teflon stuff. It'll add about $15 per pair.

If you have a ton of $$ that you're just dying to spend, there will be plenty of other recommendations coming...

Dare to be different.
