Which speaker cables???


Hi,

I am looking for a speaker cable and IC upgrade for my systems. I curently own MIT 750/330 Shotguns. My reset of the system is :

Mark Levinson ML39 CD/PRE
Mcintosh Mc352
B&W Nautilus 802

I have been doing some auditioning at home and tried the following speaker cables:

1. Cardas Golden Reference and Golden Cross IC - nice over all but not enough details and extensions.

2. Nordost SPM speaker cables and IC - great base and mids very detailed and extended, The highs were thin and for some reason it was sounding lifeless...

3. MIT Oracle V4 and 350 CVT IC, awesome imaging, great detail, quite extended, decent base and nice mids and highs every thing I need but again I didn't feel the presence of the performer.

4. Tara Labs "The One" speaker cables and MIT 330 shotgun IC. Wow, great details, nice highs, fluid mids, but soft bass and over all it was not very extended. Could the IC be the problem ? However I could feel the performer right infront of me - very life like presentation.

I like both the Oracle V4's and Taras "The One" But if only the Oracles had the "life like presentation" or the Taras had the Bass and extensions and detail of Oracles?

Can any one tell me if I mix Oracles V4 with Tara IC (the One or likes) will I be able to get the quality I am looking for. Or can I some how get the Bass and extensions and more deatils in Tara ?

Or any other cables that might work in my setup?

thanks

I second the Zu WAX cables! They are great. Most of the cables in my system are from Zu. Wonderful company to deal with and the money back if you are not satisfied policy is extra nice. They also have a trade up policy!
