Speaker Cable Upgrade

[gangus]

Hi,

I have Rega Brio-R, Rega RP6/Exact and Dynaudio X12 speakers.

Currently hooked up with chord carnival speaker cable.

Would I hear much improvement in quality upgrading to QED XT40, Vandenhul or Audioquest etc?

Thanks

Gary

No.

Also do a search on WHF for more details on cables, where you will find both for and against.

Hope this helps

I think Audioquest would be much better!

You have to say more to convince the OP instead of just "I think" as your first post (or are you increasing your post count before spamming?).

Hi there,

I've just upgraded from 2*3m audioquest flx-slip 14/4 (2 banana plugs on amp side to 4 banana plugs on speaker side) to 2*2m QED Reference XT40 (2 spades on speaker side having the default B&W links in use and just bare cables on amp side)...

Didn't know what to expect with my Roksan K2 and B&W CM9 that were previously bi-wired... let me just that the difference is "breath-taking"... bass and lower medium department are MUCH better... let me repeat it... MUCH better... (it just cancels my need for a sub!)

Can't wait to get my Cyrus Stream Xa that will basically replace my Marantz CD6004 (just a few days!) *clapping*...

So, your speaker cable is behaving like a subwoofer!! *shok*

Lol, dog has lost it 🙂

The bass department is much more defined, more present... and it doesn't impact high frequencies... hard to believe but true!

Does your K2 drive your Cm9's ok ? I'm thinking of ditching my old KEF's for the new 683S2's. Quite a large speaker without a pre/power amp combo. I'm currently running the K2 intergrated amp
