Hi,
Anyone with this pair of speakers can recommend some suitable cables. I have a AR VT150 amp.
Thanks

Hi,
It depends on the character of the rest of your system but I have had good results with Cardas Golden Hexlink 5C .This is a warmer cable than either the Gloden Ref. or Neutral Ref. but may have been offset to some degree by an ARC LS3 (solid state) preamp.Hope this helps,
A.D.
Hi,For what is it worth, some years ago I used Cardas Neutral Reference with my ARC 50 / Response 1 SC with good results. Have also heard the Golden Ref works well too but be careful about getting an overly warm sound.
I am alos using the ARC LS5 tube amp, so will these Cardas cable give it too warmth a sound? how about geortz or other flat cable wiht silver cating, to spped up the sound, and not to give too warm a cound? I like listening to vocal music. Currently I am using the XLO type 5 cable.
Best Regards
Hi, Richard, Goertz is nice, but it's bass is not as good as Kimber 8TC or the Cardas, all of which I tried. But I had Proac Response 3s ...I've heard about good results with the Nordost Valhalla on almost any speaker they were used on ...
To be honest, I just don't know. Is there a way for you to try out before you buy ? Personally I like Nordost SPM speaker cable and to some extent, the blue heaven significantly lower cost - Goertz I have nevere tried - but have never tried these types of cables with ARC / ProAc.My gut feel is that Cardas Golden Ref might be too warm and wooly sounding in you system but this is just a guess.
Sorry I can't be of more help

Hi,
The SPM is too costly. How about the Cardas Golden Cross? Actually
I am in a fix, not sure to go to silver, or flat or just pure copper wire. Basically the Amp is warm(tube) speakers(sometimes quite forward,,but nice)...and how to improve...it is always that search for a better sound..
