Nordost Tyr 2 Spkr Cables - Alternate for less $$

For the last few days I have had these Nordost Tyr 2 cables in my system replacing my Goertz MI-2 Bi wire cables. The Nordost are significantly better with improved dynamics, improved spatial presentation, blacker background, and just overall sound better.

I have never really been a fan of or explored high priced speaker cables, and although the Nordost are clearly better, I don't really want to spend that much on a pair of speaker cables even though I am buying used and getting a very good deal.

I would like input from users that have heard the Nordost Tyr 2 as well as less expensive cable. It would be great if there were something close to the performance of the Nordost Tyr 2 for quite a bit less.

My system details are posted on the "System" tab below.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions.

Best Regards,

Jim Perry

Zd542's response, although not necessarily what we want to hear is the correct one.

I've been wrestling with the cable question for some time seeking the best &/or a giant (read costly) killer, and given the almost infinite number of our individual system variables, there is no one or right answer.

As much as I dispise cable auditioning, that's the only way to find something that beats something else. Price may enter into it, but the relationship may be anything other than what is logical! Obviously all the cable manufacturers & sellers would like us to believe otherwise.

Almarg: Thanks for adding the technical reasons to this and so many other threads. You've touched on some of the many reasons why one cable may work better than another in the same system...
