warmest speaker cables you've heard?

Here is the thing… if your system is well balanced tonally and you add warm cables you will loose the details and end up with a system that is warm and emotional with a marked reduction in the high frequency end. I mentioned I used Cardas Gold Cross because they warmed up my system a lot. I had ribbon speakers and an overly detailed solid state preamp. The cables brought proper balance to my system, but by subtraction. My system sounded properly balanced with them.


When I retired my ribbon speakers and preamp for a ARC Reference 5. When I turned the new equipment on i just turned red with embarrassment of what I had done… all the cymbals wheat from the mid soundstage to back behind the wall… barely audible… it was not good. The leading edge of a snare drum disappeared. I think I listened for less than a minute and ran into my storage room and pulled out my 20 year old Transparent speaker cables. I switched them and instant, perfect sonic balance. Just perfect.

Years earlier my system was harsh, unforgiving, with a somewhat high noise floor. This was really well communicated through my ribbon speakers. So with Transparent, it sounded terrible. With the gold cross perfect.

The components in my system today are all compatible, of outstanding quality and of perfect tonal balance. So when I get cables and interconnects I want as transparent and non-existent as possible, so as not to get in the way. A really warm tonally balance cable, by definition is getting in the way and accomplishing this by subtraction..

I think, if you get the chance, you really have to try the Raal SR1a ribbon headphones for yourself to understand what I'm trying to achieve.

That thing is accurate, sharp, precise, like a surgical scalpel. Some blunting would actually be good lol! 

People can fantasize about non-existent capabilities and then
project them onto an object and through the art of solipsism realize their dreams.
I think rubbing Carolina Reaper peppers on your cables will warm them up too

I have no idea what you are trying to say … if you’re claiming cabling does not have a sonic imprint on the sound you’d be wrong.  

I highly recommend  Clear Reflection  bi-wire.  They do a 2/3 split for bass and 1/3 high.   They are wonderful and will not over priced. 

Cardas Clear reflection is a combination of the old reflection
and newer clear , what good  is having warm without the detail.

the warmest cable is the cotton oiled Duelund cable  it’s warm 
but it’s soft on theleading edge detail ,I compared them 
with my 7-9s Occ copper Wire world 8 Cables. The dielectric has Everything to do with how fast the signal propagates and warmth.
the Wireworld has Opsilex dielectric which is now better then then Teflon ,and ovoid stranded wire ,robs detail that's why litz was invented.or in Wireworlds case,  independent various size wire isolated and straight to  prevent eddy currents ,stranded has micro arching -strand to strand ,in power cords not as critical but in system cables very important. That much has been proven ,
