@cleeds & @ghdprentice Okay, I certainly stand corrected on the silver. I don't know what I had researched before that put that into my head. I have also read the articles posted by ghdprentice, and found the second article posted particularly interesting/informative. I wish they'd had a larger sample size than 18 persons, but it seemed to be controlled pretty well. I'll look into this some more. Thank you. I am always leery of the predispositions and self-fulfilling results, especially when someone is charging/making hundreds and thousands for an inaudible difference. I will have to do more testing to see what I can hear. I confess, that's the final component in the system that needs to be adjusted for individually: the ears.

OP Since you didn't give a budget, I'll take a stab in the dark. Zavfino Arcadia are OCC copper ($188 1.5 meter pair), or the Fusion OCC copper and silver cable ($357 per 1.5 meter pair). I have both as entry level cables, and they are excellent performance per dollar. Zavfino use OCC copper, use high quality and Cryo treat the connectors, and are just plain well made with really good geometry. They'd be excellent cables with your setup I think |
Blue Jeans are a very competent budget cable. They aren't on the same level as my Harmonic Tech and Acoustic Zen cables but they are a fraction of the price. I have no idea how these Xangsane cables sound but I did buy a couple of meters of the wire used for a DIY project that is still in process and all I can tell you is the wire is fantastically well made. Over on HeadFi people love these. https://www.xangsaneaudiocable.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=228&product_id=643 |
