You have a nice system and you will get a ton of recommendations from people who would love to spend your money. If you have a brick and mortar within a decent drive work with them : not call the Cable Company. Use your ears. I have borrowed from the Cable Company for years and they are a very valuable resource .
My system....what and how will cabling impact?
Stereo Equipment
I know that not proving enough info is troubling so here is my complete list for my system.
All in around 100k.
Wilson Audio Sasha DAW
D’Agostino Integrated Amp
Clear Audio Ovation w/ 9” tracer tone arm
Clear Audio Concerto V2 MC cartridge
DCS Bartok DAC
VTL 6.5 phono pre amp (used w less then 50 hours of use)
HRS RXR Maple rack w/ isolation shelves
Transparent Music link and music wave cabling.
The room is strangely laid out. First, high cathedral ceilings with several peaks for sounds to bounce around. Second not too wide from speaker fronts to my ears but long. Approximately 25’ X 50’. From speaker fronts to my ears maybe 15. Speakers are positioned close to back wall and I am sitting on a sofa that places me about 2 feet in front of the front wall which is comprised of windows.
Now onto my first impressions. It sounds fantastic. Very warm, melodic, clean, rich and juicy are a few adjectives that come to mind. The TT sounds as good or perhaps at times better than the DAC. The soundstage is fairly wide given the limited space between my ears and the speakers.
Now onto my question. I have spent around $2,000 for cabling. I am figuring that those are what many of you would consider basic cabling. I see folks spending much much more for cabling. What does investing in high end cabling buy you? How does it effect the final outcome? Will the sound be richer and more realistic? What high end cables are recommended for the system I have? How much should one expect to spend for cables for the system I have assembled?
Thanks for your input.
