I started with Monster then moved to AudioQuest. At the recommendation of my dealer, I switched to Straightwire Rhapsody II interconnects and cables. I got the warm, full bodied sound that I was looking for. I haven't found the need to look elsewhere. If anyone is interested, I do have a 10' biwire Rhapsody II speaker cable up for sale.
Straight Wire Question
I am re-situating my audio equipment which is going to require longer speaker cables (10'). I am currently running Straight Wire Rhapsody II for both speaker and iterconnects and was thinking about some of the auctions here at Audiogone to get new cables (some long Straightwires available).
However, I have noticed there is a distinct lack of threads concerning Straight Wire. Is the brand concidered 'pooh'pooh' by the audio gurus? I am happy with the sound of my current system but have not really auditioned other cables other than Straight Wire. Is there something I am missing out there?
