No, such a thing doesn't exist. Nothing is better than plain old 12 AWG OFC. And a coat hanger would literally sound just as good as some snake oil Audioquest speaker cable. Because science.
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.

> I feel bad for the folks who can’t hear a difference between cables I feel bad for the folks who does not realize that there is no such thing as "sound signal". By the way. You have a cool expensive wire connecting your amplifier and a tall tower speaker, 3-4 feet in length. Do you realize that another 3-4 feet of wire is connecting components inside of your speaker box? Do you think it is some kind of a special wire? Well, open your speaker box and surprise yourself. Good luck spending your bucks, if that makes you feel better. |
@ionna22 I don’t expect that you’ll respect this, but I’d ask that you take your rants elsewhere. You have no audience here, your persuasive skills aren’t all that great and nobody is interested. Four Agon posts, and everyone a troll post. I can only hope someday Audiogon lets us block posters. |
I find the deniers odd. If I thought cars were just transportation and not different... I wouldn't join a sports car forum and tell them they are crazy to think there is a difference. I would go somewhere that interested me. But there were many stories of Covid patients yelling at the doctors that there was no such thing as Covid... right before they died. So, I guess not hearing, or denying the basic tenets of high end audio is not much different. |
