After acquiring a pair of Totem Dreamcatchers for use with my Arcam CD73T and Naim NAC62/NAC90 pair, I have tried the 2 sets of speaker cables that I own. The NAC A4 set were very expensive when I bought them, but sounded dull with the Dreamcatchers. The Chord Carnival Silvers sounded much more musical, and not as bass light as I had expected. The difference between the two was very marked.
So, is it worth trying some other ones as a 'cheap' upgrade. There are some good recommendations on the What Hifi review pages, but there are also threads where people reckon that there is too much myth about the magical properties of different cables. Given that the Chord Carnivals are my current preferred cable, then will QED, Audioquest, Atlas etc offer something at a sensible price that will give me even better sound?
