Who makes the best copper cables?
I’m a hardcore cable dork
I’ve been through many cheaper copper cables and even more medium to higher priced silver cables.
I mainly own Furutech project v1
but they are not a cable. After they warm up they disappear from the system which is great. I love that. But I’ve tried to make everything in my system like that
now I want to add a little of that thick voluptuous copper timbres into my system.
I know copper can be just as resolving as most silver. Clarus crimson was unreal in details but it was too slow,dark and bloomy
i do not like cables that have capacitors to try and artificially alter sound staging also do not like shunyata. Good but too cool and artificial sounding
Anyone have any recommendations?
I have not used these - but they look interesting & can not beat the price point. Anyone have these - seems all are built to order too = handcrafted? https://www.nrgcustomcables.ca/ There website goes into great detail on the copper used, build, and why: https://www.nrgcustomcables.ca/my-materials Jay Iyagi podcast on these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi3Zta9gTj8&t=560s Let me know if anyone has these in there system and their thoughts... |
I have used several cables over the years and the cables I've enjoyed most are Audio-Envy and now Iconoclast. Audio-Envy cables are inexpensive, and I believe $ for $ would give you great enjoyment and return on your investment. Iconoclast do better than Audio-Envy cables but not by much and while more expensive, are really high quality in their construction and sonically as well. If you look at how the Iconoclast cables are made, there is sound science behind them and testing with state-of-the-art equipment to prove it as well. In any event, I hope you find cables that satisfy what you're looking for in sound. |
I have not seriously auditioned cabling in a while. I consistently like speaker wire and interconnects from Audio Note. The sound is predictable with their cables—on the warmer side, with their silver cables having greater clarity while still being warm and free from high frequency harshness. The copper cables are a bit warmer, which I like, but are a bit murky sounding compared to the silver wire. As you go up the price range their cables get better but the price is scary. |
