I have used 4 different amps the past year, my Nad C316BBE is my 4th amp (love it, neutral top and lot's of power) have used different speaker cable from supra, thin and thicker version of the classic and ply 3.4, now double van den hul clearwater (4x4meter).
It seen to me my hifi problem,nemesi or what ever you would call it is speaker cable and bass.
So someone who wrote that he upgraded to Kimber 8PR over double van den hul clearwater, naturally like the hifi nerd i am i had to google kimber 8PR (out of my budget)
Heres what he wrote (using google translate to make it faster to translate): clearwater seems stuffy in the treble and swollen in the bass. There are no details in the bass with the cable, it all sounds the same in the bass, with Kimber there are many songs that I've been thinking sounds bass like that? I have never noticed that with the clearwater. Treble seems a lot more rough and without details, where with Kimber is soft and nice and with a lot of detail. The midrange, I have never had the great focus on before, I've got now to secure all the information that comes out of the midrange, especially a drum when it strikes, it sounds delicious.
I never have had a bloted,swollen bass,infact i wouldn't mind a firmer tighter bass and a clearer more open top without sounding bright and fattigue (and thin) i like the neutral top that isn't intrusive/agressive, the eq,tone controls are pretty good on the nad, treble at 0db ist very neutral and not intrusive,at max the sound gets brighter but in a suttle way where it's not agressive, bass get's enhanced or decreased at 50hz not 100hz like many amps do and therefore could sound a bit midbass heavy when using eq/tone controls (don't use tone controls)
(Theres just some people who noticed a huge difference only by upgrading to a different speaker cable,interconnects or mabye amp, personally i like my speakers so i wouldn't change that and i think it would be much more expensive to upgrade to something better, mabye klipsch reference bookshelf speakers)
If i where to try a different speaker cable since i how have the urge to, is there any low budget you would recommend me to look for budget 5£,7€ each meter (i need 2x4 meter), know most of you would say van damm or just some cheap cable like monoprice, is it because abby road studios use van damme or? cheap cables like monoprice because you can't hear any difference so why spent alot of money or beacuse of this http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-speaker-cable/
Whathifi say clearwater is the best under 10£ http://www.whathifi.com/best-buys/best-speaker-cables but you know we music lovers always want to try to find something different for our system, one cable might be good for one system but not as good with another sytem
Last question, what is you nemsis, the thing you always are upgrading, where you can't find what is perfect for your needs and where you use it and stop thinking about upgrading ?
