I hate to add another option but Cerious Tech makes speaker cables that far exceed their price point. Cerious Tech Lumniscate line gets out of the way and allows you to hear your components and as a result the music. I highly recommend doing your research on them before making a decision. https://cerioustech.com/products/speaker-cables/speaker-cables-lumniscate/ sb

@stevebohnii Just for some perspective, what else have you compared Cerious cables to and what differences/advantages did you find? |
Unfortunately, no one's opinion here will do you much good. Everything in your system - and some things outside your system, e.g., power grid quality - changes the sound. I've found the only reliable approach is to borrow the cables you're considering, preferably from a local dealer but from an online dealer if necessary, break them in for 200 hours (8 days of 24/7 playing) then play 8-10 of your favorite tracks and see if you like it better. I've tried cables that everyone else raved about that were harsh or thin or lacking bass punch in my system. You just need to try other cables and take systematic notes.

@soix - great question. Before I was using Cardas Clear Cynus. Those are great cables and I still have them. The Cerious cables have so much better clarity, detail, and expanded soundstage. Not to mention the noise floor was greatly reduced. I can’t say enough about their cables. I also have a Lumniscate PC and love it too. I’m going to replace my Cardas Clear Cygnus XLRs with the Lumniscate or the Matrix after I replace my speakers in the next month or so. Reach out to Bob who is the engineer. He is the nicest guy you’ll ever meet. Also, there are tons of discussions here on Cerious cables. |
