@jaybe FWIW i second @mike4597 recommendation on the Fidelium cables--i bought into the concept after talking with Jeff at Silversmith audio--he also is an engineer and spent much of his career in the Navy dealing with underwater acoustics. The concept is complete neutrality. However, i also agree with those who think you need to perfect your room and speaker placement first before going down this road--i took that advice from Jim Smith, the author of "Get Better Sound" in a long phone conversation. His firm belief is that room is the biggest and most important influence on the sound.
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.
