Is cable synergy important?


I ask this because for a long time I didn't think it mattered much if you mixed and matched cables.
You know, use brand A company for the speaker wire and company B for interconnect etc.
However my recent experience with Clear Day cables has got me convinced that if the cables do what you like then stick with the same brand and cable up.
I had puchased the Clear Day cables and really enjoyed how they cleaned up the sound of my SET amp and Tannoy speakers.
So much so that I thought I would audition the Clear Day IC with the very nice xhadow xlrs, just the ticket for my new Red Dragon Leviathans.
It was a very nice match and strengthened all the good things that the speaker cables did.
My system is now the most revealing it has ever been and not in the least bit etched or zingy.
So at least with my positive experience in using speaker wire and interconnect from the same company(Clear Day)I would say that cable synergy is important.

I agree with foster,i think that they do work better in harmony(resistance?).Using az also,imho.
Sepends on your system really. I've had success with the mix and match approach as well as with all cabling from the same family:O)
This sounds eerily similiar to a sales pitch.

Lacee are you a dealer or rep for these cables?
I don't think there is a more important factor in system setup than to omit as many variables as you can. ..that includes getting the amp, preamp, cd player, from the same manufacturer
Entrope, good catch. The original post does come off smelling like a shill for Clear Day cables.

Just in case it is not though, I believe in cable synergy, but that doesn't necessarily mean all cables from one manufacturer. I've had success and failures when using all of one manufacturers cables and while mixing and matching.
It's a crapshoot.
