Your opinion on cable spending

First determine the cable that will match your system,
then allocate the money without compromising the other
too much,balance decision is the key here.I normally
like to get the most, out it in the source, then pre
amp, then amp.If the budget is tight.I believe you should
try differrent brand of cables,With your budget,TG audio,
Luminous audio cables, and Audience, AZ,HT, you will
be able to achieve good result.Remember it takes time to
audition,Cable company will loan you, but its more
expensive, than Agon price.

Bobheinatz, can you tell us more about your system.
Its easier for us Agoners to recommend how much cable,
and what kind a cable that is right for your system.
For $2500, you will be able to dress your system with good
used cable,and achieve the musicality you are looking
for.Thanks

Sean I know you know the answer, but I will give you
my best shot,I have been in this hobby for fifteen years.
In my experience this is How I determine or figure out
which cable will match my system.
My system is Andra Eggletons speaker, Extreme monos stratos.
Sony 9000es Mod by Dan Wright.My system is very revealing.

1) I will choose copper with rich full sounding characterstis.In my case I will think of audience cable, cardas,Tara lab,
2) All silver wont be a good choice here.

If one cable upset the balance of other cable,dont stop
there,continue fine tuning the system,until you get
the right combination.Sean you know and I know this
is hard work, and very frustrating at times.Its
trial and error.I wont be surprise,If the system got
too dark sounding,I might mix a silver in between the
preamp and amp, or maybe I will put it in the source.

Sean thru experience, and familiarity of our system,
you will have a good idea which direction to choose.
Or if not sure ask the expert here at Agon.Read some
post here about cable.But it require experience and
auditioning every cable that are available.As you know
I spend time at Van L and bringing cables home.

This are the ff. I have auditioned.
AZ,HT, Audience,I own Siltechcs,Tara Lab,VD Nite,
TG audio,Costum power cord model eleven and top gun,
I own Luminous audio Synchestra sig,Kimbers, Marigos,
I heard them at John store.I own Pure Note,I own AQ
Lapis,opal,and some cardas,I heard most of the AQ cable
also the old one,Dragon,diamond,sterling,I own argent,
and sold the midnight.I heard the Nordost also,the golmund,
transparent, MIT I use to own one,I own a didgital PAD,
I auditioned the synergistics,a lot more.the only reason
I want to post so I can share my humble experience with
cables.But Iam not expert like you.

By looking at your system, Audience cable will be
my first choice, very neutral cable, I have
heard,the maestro might work, the AU24 is even better.
.I tried the blue heaven, I think they are
on the lean side,and bright side.The red dawn are
way much better.
Second choice will be TG audio
Third choice Luminous Audio.
