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’ve had iconolast lop of the line xlr and it got sent back. Way over priced. Sounds like a wannabe tyr2 and the tyr2 is good but not great. reel to reel can create some unbelievable timbral colors. Some of which I haven’t heard since a kid with cassette tapes. If the cabling they used hadnt been so transparent, those colors would have been skewed. Being that they weren’t, I knew the cable might be just what I need. Will be doing a direct comparison with furutech project v-1

@squared80 : Back in the Days of Yore 'philes used Radio Shack/Tandy gray Switchcraft cables. Nobody complained! Then around 1976 DiscWasher brought out Gold Ens IC's. I bought some. Noel Lee started Monster speaker wire, soon followed by Monster IC's. I have some of the much later Monster Reference IC's, bought cheap from an estate sale. By 1977 Mitch Cotter was selling his TriAxial cables for the very reasonable price of $30 a meter. I bought six pairs plus a phono cable ($35). Mitch claimed a lower noise floor due to superior shielding. I still have those Cotter cables buried somewhere in storage. |
