Closest match to Symphony 400

[hybridauth_Google_117949439720551066952]

Hi,

I'm upgrading my current system to 5.1 and would like to continue to make use of the existing Cambridge Audio Symphony 400 cable for the additional speakers I'm adding to the mix. It seems that Symphony 400 is no longer available (been to both Richer Sounds website and in store). Availability on eBay is very overpriced. Please can someone recommend a close match that is available (or even no longer available, but I may find in the secondary market)?

Thanks,

Rob.

Just check the guage / CSA (cross sectional area) / strand count of the CA cable you've got Rob.
Then match it with some OFC stuff from Van Damne or similar.

Thanks, but was after a specific recommendation than having to go digging.

🙂 You won't have to dig far 👍
(Unless you're one of those that believe in the unbelievable magic of cables).

Please don't turn this into yet another cable thread......
Simply buy anything readily available within your budget, which we don't know.

OK, so what's the point of this forum if not to ask questions? I'm not talking about budget, I'm talking about something that gives a similar sound to the Symphony 400. Surely that isn't too much to ask?

Try the Hi-Fi Wigwam forum.
You'll get some expert opinions on the sound of cable

It's not the same but this cable made a major improvement to my system and is a decent price:

Your Symphony 400 looks to be much smaller guage so the KabelDirekt would likely be a step up but can't promise.

You couldn't buy some and send it to him could you?.... to save him doing any more digging 🤨

Got several metres left over if anyone less snarky near Chichester wants to give it a try
