In Reply to: Harbeth Owners: Which Speaker Cables? posted by Joe Backer on June 25, 2017 at 20:23:19:
especially on the 'don't overspend' part.
Short or long run, high power sand amp or moderate powered tube amp?
Those factors might be at play?
Large or small room, loud or soft listening levels?
Those factors might also be at play?
I'd try commercial speaker cables of some pedigree, albeit 'moderately priced with good wire' and also maybe try DIY with, again, decent wire (Canare Star-Quad?) just to see if I could tell the difference. :-)
In truth, it's a crap shoot and Harbeth is likely 100% right.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
