Help Cables


I need some help with cables. I have a Rega Planet 2000 cdp, Revel M20's, and a Plinius 8200 amp. I'm quite happy with these components, don't want to spend a ton of money in this hobby, but I need some cabling opinions. I need IC's and speaker cable. I like detail and soundstage..... but I wouldn't mind getting a SLIGHTLY warmer sound. Let's say under $300.00 per IC, and under $500.00 for speaker cable. Music-wise, I listen to a variety of stuff, so I'd like a good, all-around cable. I've gotten some great advice from you all here on AG, so thanks again in advance!

I'd try harmonic tech truthlinks and satori speaker cables. This will be very warm with a great sense of harmonics. If you want more detail, try some harmonic tech prosilway II's or Nordost red-dawn cables. The red dawns will be leaner but more transparent and open than the prosils.

You should be able to find a satori speaker cable for 350ish. The only cable I've found that is significantly better is spm which is 3-4 times as expensive. If you want to move up the food chain on i/c's, try some nordost spm's (very transparent and detailed ), or acoustic zen silver refs (more harmonics, warmer but less transparent).

Of all things, cables are the best thing to buy used so you can trymebuyme without losing your shirt. Also don't be afraid to try cables out. What works great in one system will sound mediocre in another (really!).
