Hi all WHF readers and WHF team!
I am 20 years old student and I am trying to get myself in hi-fi (or at least come near it, because of the budget).
My father had Technics equipment since 1970s and so I have it also (newer stuff).
In the beginning of this year I bought myself an amp: SU-A900D (pre and power SU-C800U and SE-A900S) and speakers: JBL Northridge E80. (There is also a CD player which I will replace in the near future, a tuner, TV, PS2). With the speakers I bought Van den Hul CS-122 speaker cables without terminations (our biggest hi-fi dealer does not have a termination machine).
Because I always want something new I decided to replace the interconnects and bi-wire my system. So the first question is:
Which interconnects would you recommend for upto 15 pounds per piece? I was looking at
IXOS XHA215-100...
And second one:
I was looking at QED Silver Anniversary XT Speaker Bi-Wire Cable with terminations... I think the cable is very good in this price range, but I don't know if it is better than my VDH (just looking at the price/m)? So, should I buy a second VDH cable, or should I choose QED bi-wire cable? Or should I choose something else (in this price range)?
If I should choose QED cables, which terminations I should take? QED offers airloc banana plugs and spades... I know my speakers can connect with both.
When bi-wiring, should I connect through A and B terminals on my amp, or should I connect everything thorugh one terminal?
Sorry for any mistakes in pronouncing (I am a foreigner, from Slovenia )
Thanks in advance,
Nejc
