Need your help on SPEAKER CABLE...


Need advise on speaker cable. Looking for a cable which is fast and warm. Not bright in any case. They will connect my Plinius 8150 to a pair of Sonus Faber Signum. Interconnects are van de Hul D102III. I am willing to spend less than US$300 (for terminated pair). Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise.

I have several different Kimbers ( 8TC, 4TC, 8PR, 4PR, etc), Goertz MI-2's and MI-3's, some Audioquest cables, some XLO's, some Axon 8, several different Monster's, some 54 conductor CAT 5 cables, etc... and have used many others including Analysis Plus, Straight Wire's, etc... The only thing that i will tell you is that trial and error is the only way that you find EXACTLY what you want out of the system. I've found that even though i've liked a specific cable in one installation, it just plain wouldn't work well in another system. I have several systems here and sometimes play "musical cables" between them, swapping back and forth. Anybody that tells you that cables DO NOT contribute to the sonic signature of the system is either extremely inexperienced in system building or has very poor hearing / listening habits. Contact the Cable Company and get hooked up with them. You can then rotate a couple different cables in and out of your system and see what YOU like best. Sean

Albert, i think i've got you figured out. You sit back and let everyone else "strut their stuff" and then you fire away once were all exhausted. Makes for less of a moving target that way : )

Actually, your suggestions for Cardas actually hit the description of what he's looking for right on the head. Very clean, clear and warm without a hint of brashness or glare. Now since you've mentioned them, what can you tell us about the Purist Audio's that strikes your fancy the most ??? Sean
