RE: Speaker Cables for Thiels

I have some CS3's that initially sounded harsh in the extreme. I tried out some Cardas Cross speaker cables and eventually traded up to some Golden Cross cables. The Cardas cables, and to lesser extent interconnects, went a long way to make the Thiels sound really good. My CD player, a Wadia, also shares some of Thiel's characteristics--revealing and a bit in your face. Power cords made a big difference here. On the amplifier and on the CD player, I found that Electraglides made a really big difference, though I've heard that the newer Epiphany X.3 cords are cheaply made and not in the same class as their predecessors.

The Thiels pretty much forced me to look into tweaks in order to make them listenable, but I've been able to tune in my system so that even poorly recorded discs now sound acceptable. It took a lot of experimenting to get my system where it is today, but the Thiels revealed all of the changes that I made quite clearly.
