Dude, get some cables and get it over with already (facepalm)... If you are too much in the weeds with cables, it implies that something else In your chain is very lackluster,,,most probably the speakers and the room.. "The magic cable fix for everything" quest starts shortly thereafter.
Second Round of Questions on Speaker Cables
Following up on a post of a couple months ago. Running Audience AU24SE cables but looking for something with more "body" if such a thing exists. But I do love the open, airy and even frequency balance of the Audience. A buddy runs Cardas cables and loves them but Audience not so much. So I was asking what else besides my Audience. Two answers were in the majority:
Stick with what you like, Audience, but go up in the range. Or, try Cardas.
So went for with AU24SX and really like them. Better than the SEs, maybe a bit more body.
Then tried the Cardas Clear Reflections. What I find is an emphasis with the mids and upper bass. Great for music with an emphasis on vocals maybe, but for my wide-ranging likes of rock, jazz, and occasional vocal-centric music, just not right with that lower-end emphasis.
FWIW, Bryston amp, Spatial Audio and Rogue pres, Sopras.
So still looking but not sure where to go next. I realize I'm being a little vague, but there's so many other options out there and it's impossible to try them all. Open to suggestions.
Thanks.

Ohm's law is very simple. The Power driving your speaker equals to (Voltage power two) divided by Resistance (speaker plus connecting wire). "Oxygen-free copper is best" - nonsense. All copper wires are oxygen free. If something does not sound nice in your system, no wire will fix it, look at you components (speakers, first of all) instead. Period. Same with connectors. Either they provide good electical contact or not. Just make sure you connections are not loose. It really does not matter what kind you use, banana plugs, pins, binding posts, or simply screwing bold stripped wire to your speaker terminals. Now, spend 50 bucks on 100 ft 10-12 gauge speaker wire, plus another 20 on connectors and enjoy. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering specializing in acoustics, in case. |
Black Mesh Oval 9 Speaker Cable That is actually funny. Let's see... Typical house electrical wiring uses 12-14 gauge copper wire. Now, the folks are telling me about "handling deep bass ... at high volume" with their magic cable. DO NOT connect 120V current to your speaker. |
