What are you hoping to accomplish with the cable upgrade? Is there something about your current sound you are unhappy with?

Hi

there is nothing wrong with my system or sound, I just want a better more clearer transparent sound and want the best cable for my system and spkrs.

thanks

If you're happy with the sound, perhaps moving up the QED ladder would be a good idea.

Next stop is the QED Revelation, after that would be a run of XT300/XT350 to the tweeter and XT350/XT400 to the woofer.

If you really want to push the boat out, try twin runs of QED Genesis.

Hi Gally50

Generic speaker cable of a few hundred strands of OFC at a few £/m will do the trick nicely. If it helps i use generic speaker cables with the Silver RX6's and with all of Monitor Audio's reference Platinum Series.

All the best

I think youll find you can do far better than the QED you have now

Id go for van damme UP-LCOFC (Higher grade than OFC)

I have just bought some new speaker cable after using silver annirversary biwire for years, i actually went for aLiEnRIKs recommendation in the end after wanting to buy chord odessy 2 since i got my new speakers a few months ago, i just didn't have the money in the end and they were still never cheap enough second hand.

I found the treble a touch too bright with the silver annirversary on some recordings with my system, but so far so good with the new van damme hi fi 2.5mm cable, the sound was instantly more likeable with the new cable no more splashy treble and a little more detail in the tracks i've listened to so far.

I honestly didn't expect to like it but i am pleasently surprised by it considering the cost.

Glad you like it dibdab

i recently persuaded my cousin to swap some of the van damme cable for his qed silver anniversary, the van damme is a much better cable. it was also the first time i'd 'blind' tested a cable, not an a/b-x, more an a/b/a/b/b/a/a/b. 'guessed' right each time. less bright in the treble, stronger bass - i'd recommend anyone who thinks all cables sound the same to compare those two.

Chord Carnival Silver Screen will show similar differences over the QED too.

Another vote for Van Damme - I use 4mm Studio Blue.
