A used pair of Kimber 8T are still an excellent value.
Speaker cable recommendations in my budget
I really hate to open this can of worms. I know people tend to be very passionate about their cables and how heretical someone else’s choice is. But, here goes anyway.
if it matters, I have a Denon AVR4806 & JM Labs speakers. Both are about 7 or 8 yrs old. I need 8’-10’. I really only want to spend less than $150 but, I’d go to $200 if there some phenomenal cable that would rock my world.
On the site & in that range are: AntiCabled, Schmitt, PS Audio, Audio Quest, NBS Serpent, Harmonic Tech & Audio Quest Serpent.
Do any of you see the glaring top 2 or 3 I should pick from? There’s now real audio shop around me that sells this stuff.
PLEASE: Don’t recommend dumping my receiver or speakers & no fights.

I would say either the JW Audio cables or Speltz Anticables. I had the Anticables for many years and it took a MUCH more expensive set of cables (over $700) to beat the sound in all ways. I bought at least 5-6 different sets of cables and always returned to the Antis--at about $80 for an 8 ft. pair, it's a no brainer at your price. Bob |
I had been using AntiCables with my Spatial Audio M3's and was well pleased with them until I found a more expensive Analysis Plus speaker cable . What is special about AP cables is their patented geometry which is used in all their cables ,regardless of price . I have not tried their cable in your price range, but feel confident that their impulse response should be the best you'll find . Less certain is the conductor quality at this price point vs competitors with simpler,cheaper geometry . The eBay vendor http://www.ebay.com/usr/cguitargear777 has the best price for new cable, but you can find used at times . |
