My ARCAM is not designed to accept spades. If it could accept spades, I would have used them years ago. I use spades at the speaker end.
Need help buying new speaker cable
My Tara Labs Apollo speaker cable broke at the negative terminal end. I will need to replace them. What cables would you recommend? I would like to know what cables out there would be comparable. I would like to upgrade but they need to be affordable. A local dealer recommended Audioquest Robin Hood’s but they cost $2,000. I just can’t spend that much money. I am looking at Audioquest Rocket 88’s for $1,150. Any ideas? I would also like to know what the sound difference be compared to my Appolo’s? I still have a difficult time you can hear a sound difference between one cable and another.

Either way the cables need to be repaired. Have them repaired by Tara Labs if you want to sell them at some point. If not and need bananas, order these locking bananas: https://silversonic.com/products/connectors/locking-banana-plug-thin-style/ Call them to get the right size, etc. Get four for all the amp end connections. Then have the cables repaired locally. In the meantime get a trial set from Cableco. You never know, you might like something better but you won’t find that answer here. You need to listen in your system. |

Having owned a audio store value is important as well as quality look at the Wireworld line ,very important conductor purity 6-9s pure Copper , their dielectric is lowest commercially even lower then Teflon, the end conductors ,spade,banana are silver over solid copper not brass,much better sounding ,and your choice of connector ends type, even bywire the Equinox is outstanding for monies spent . this includes the Starlight digital cable . perrotta consultants give excellent service and package deal $$ if buying more then one cable. |
