In Reply to: RE: Upgrade from Supra Ply 3/4s speaker cables posted by pc123v on June 22, 2014 at 08:47:22
While I've not tried any other Supra cable, I find the strong point of the Supra LoRad 2.5 power cord for a digital application is coherent spatial and ambient information rather than a warmer presentation with more full-bodied tonal bloom.
In order to avoid hype, I don't use the term giant-killer lightly. A more reasonable term tends to be high-value, or big bang for the buck. You might consider Kimber 8VS speaker cable. According to a seller in the UK, the 8VS is now available with a more transparent sounding clear/white insulation rather than gray/black insulation:

Ask a US dealer or Kimber if 8VS with clear/white insulation (not to be confused with the more expensive 8TC with clear/white insulation) is available here, too.

Thanks Duster. Any other brands I should consider that could give me an unetched big and full presentation? I am running the Hyperion 938 which can sound thin and "smallish" By small I mean small size of image and soundstage. Thanks for you time.
Your expensive loudspeakers are sensitive to cabling and deserve high-end speaker cables, so you should consider increasing your budget level. That said, I would still suggest trying a Kimber product, but rather Kimber 8TC (with clear/white Teflon insulation) instead of the Kimber 8VS (with polyethylene insulation) for your floorstanding Hyperion 938. It's a classic high-value speaker cable within its price point. Better yet, try Kimber 12TC if you can afford it.

Thank you so much Duster for taking the time in giving your advice. I have been looking into getting the 8TC. Do you have any recommendations for another brand that may give me a fuller and "bigger" sound than what I presently have with the Supras...before I take the plunge? Same price range or a little more.
