After using Audioquest, Kimber, Anti-Cables, Morrow, Radio Shack's best and some more the names of which I cant remember, I've found some cables that suit my system very well. After 40+ years fiddling with this I'm satisfied. You must take my findings with a grain of salt because I'm 76, have tinnnitus and have little to no hearing above 9k hz. However the best cable I've come across - especially for the money - Is Signal Cable. When I've substituted Signal Cable for any of the above I hear an improvement..My system: Nottingham 294 with motor controller , Otofon Cadinza Black, Einstdin Turntables Choice, Conrad-Johnson CT 5 pre-amp, Ayon 07s cd player, Quicksilver 88 monoblocks, Reference 3A Grand Veena speakers and Hsu sub. I hear the most detail, the lowest level sounds more distinctly with accurate tone, all the bass there is and sweet, crisp highs(up to 8500 hz then falling rapidly) that I've heard from any cables. At the price, they are unbeatable.

I'm using a Signal Cable to great success between my Pre-Amp and Wyred for Sound ST-500 amp. Just the right transparency and not grainy at all.
I will concur, Jack. These are very good cables and power cords.
Been doing business with Frank for years. As he states on his website "if one wants to pay 800% markup on exotic cable voodoo - please be my guest" but if you want honest, affordable, and very well made cables Signal Cables is it! He is also one of the nicest folks around.
I also owned a lot of Frank's cables when rebuilding my previous system. They are a good value cable that seem to work in the majority of budget minded setups. I upgraded my components and therefore went to a cable that offers much better synergy for my system. They are now sitting in storage.
Yes, a very good value and mates well w/ many gear manufacturers!
they are an unbeatable value for their modest price when it comes to clarity and transparency. In my systems they are tipped up a little on top, but are very clean and wide range, but not a great choice for bright systems.
I've re-wired amp inputs with Silver Reference IC wire, and happily use them in my office system. I use their power cord on a subwoofer as well.
I've had well over 100 pairs of quality ICs. The Signals are not as perfect as the top level, but still offer a very convincing rendition of the music when used in a compatible system.
I had his interconnects long time ago, both copper and silver - bought into the "giant killer" hype due to inexperience.
My conclusion: they are worth exactly what they cost, not a dollar more - and can be safely skipped in favor of the cables providing much higher sound quality.
Classic case of getting what you paid for - not much, both.
