Interconnects/speaker cable choices

[admin_exported]

IAny any ideas on cable upgrades. I want to upgrade my speaker cable and interconnects and was thinking of :

Chord carnival silverscreen ,QED Silver anniversary XT , Kimber 4PR ,,4VS The length of cable will have to be 10 meters to each speaker.

interconnect :Chord silver chameleon plus ,Nordost blue heaven , Russ andrews -kimber Timber ,or Crystal cu ,DNM solid core interconnect

CURRENT SYSTEM: Musical fidelity X-A1 ,Cyrus FM 7.5, Cyrus CD 6S, Nordost Black knight interconnect, B&W 602 S3 ,Proel 12awg spk cable (from a DJ music shop)

I mainly listen to modern music.but dont want too much bass, Any other recommendations? Any help would be appreciated as I am unable to demo anywhere nearby.

thanks

Personally I use Merlin Cables. Great cables and great guys to deal with!

Your speakers are 20m appart?

You could move them closer together to save some cash...ÿ

What is your budget? It's also important that you have a certain sound that you are trying to acheive from your current system, do you want a brighter sound?, a more prominent sound in the midrange(as most voice stuff)? Trying to tone down the brightness? More clarity?

I personally feel that the cables are meant to be there to let the music flow, I don't like cables that add color to the sound which alter the sound of my system, also I think the effect is more satisfying when you replace the whole lot with the same brand and series, you could try Nordost blue heaven not only for interconnect, for your speaker and power cords, I'm sure it will bring the full potential out of your system, and Nordost blue heaven is not that powerful on the bass, it's more subtle though.

I have recently upgraded my QED xt400 speaker cables and ATL s8 interconnect,and power cord to "siltech" MXT new york series, I think Siltech is not that well known in UK, they do home trail, if you return the cable within a week, they will refund the full amount. so good luck with that.

If you like a controlled kinda sound, not too bass heavy, you could do a lot worse than try something from the likes of Ecosse or Atlas.

I've always found them to be fairly neutral, the way cables should be IMO. Not really a fan of cables that seem to have a sonic character.

Have a look at the Vandame range of cables used in studios said to be very good value for money.

You won't go wrong with the Chord cables, very good and very balanced, not to much bass.
