It depends on your budget as to what level of interconnect you might want to be considering. It could be that you want the best cables possible, costing more than your equipment, or cables more reasonable to the components you are connecting. Snake River Audio, their Takshaka line, uses a combination of copper and silver in their design. They might be a cost effective option if you are thinking upper tier cables without the upper tier pricing. But still more costly than your equipment. Takshska will not be anywhere near as good as a Stealth V17 interconnect, but will get you in to a better tier of interconnect.
From Audio Sensibility in North York, Ontario. OCC copper and 27 inches long. Stephen makes high quality cables. There are always sales and discount codes on the website.
If you want to spend less these are also good quality OCC copper cables.
I try to stay away from pre-determined biases. I prefer to listen first. My current interconnect, Front Row Reserve, is a MUCH better cable than my previous Audioquest MacKenzie. FRR, which has a combination of copper and silver in the design of the cable, allows for a clarity and transparency as well as dynamics, that my previous AQ MacKenzie and Cardas Parsec interconnect cables simply don’t have, and the older cables sound dull in comparison.
As he’s looking for a “non-standard” length he is going to have to deal with the smaller internet direct custom cable builders like Audio Sensibility, Audio Envy, Triode Wire Labs, etc. There are several companies like that in Canada where he is and they are likely his best bet based on his wants.
These look like very good cables for the price. My pricier VooDoo Cable Stradivarius cabling has OCC copper and OCC silver conductors and I think they are the cat’s meow. I would also recommend the Graphite Audio silver cables, they are an excellent value–I have never tried their copper but imagine they are very good.
For the kind of money you seem to be willing to spend, I would neatly coil your existing cables, fix with cable ties, stuff out of sight under the bottom shelf, and use the savings to add a foundry subwoofer. No question you’ll be sonically better off and when you close your eyes to welcome Bill Evans into your listening space, you won’t see the spagettoni anyway. (Thicker than spaghetti with a hole up the middle).
Yup good idea, but First, I think selling them, for financing a better pair, than they are.
I intend to do that in my TT, to replace the cheap 70 cables in there.
But now I am searching infos, on how turn it RCA out in a XLR out on the turntable.
But, I use to build my cable, with plane cable, when I was younger.
Canada rule change, and Bombardier had discarded all is communication cable in the plane for double shield cable. It was a copper/teflon and mistery component. but that was 25years ago, and never seen them since then!
