Speaker Cables

[Mikeeo]

Dear fellow Devialet owners,

Anyone tried Clear Day speaker cables on Devialet? Specifically, their Double Shotgun speaker cables? I have read so much great reviews of it.

This is the link: http://www.cleardaycables.com/double_shotgun.php 

Also, is there case for thinking that Devialet is a neutral system and hence may not be suitable for silver speaker cables and interconnects?

Any insights would be great! Thanks much!

Hi Voal,

For sure I would say that any 'over' analytical or 'bright' cable may not work that good with Devialet BUT depending on your Ears, Listning environment, Signal source and Loudspeakers it may be any cable you like, just Try!

I did a lot of silver and still do and to me it is a myth that silver would be overly bright, analytical or lean in character THOUGH silver plated copper have to my ears at times sounded like that. My experience with silver has only been positive and my experience it has given me more details, airier hights BUT still with better body and balance than copper, and the only thing I could say is that some unwanted 'fattiness' from copper was lost with silver. But remember, my ears and systems! You have to try and see for your self. Best of luck and please report back any findings of interest!

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the insights!

Problem with smaller hifi markets like Singapore is that we do not have plenty of cable choices we can take home for trials.

I have used copper cables for the longest time with Classe Audio and now Devialet. I have found that Devialet is extremely fussy with cables.

Would hope for more insights from fellow members!!

Voal, you're welcome!

This comes as a surprise: "Problem with smaller hifi markets like Singapore" ? Is it really smaller as last time I visited I had time over to go to for me the best ever HiFi market, the 7 storages of only HiFi and record shops at Coleman st! Never seen so much shops (no lowfi) and stuff anywhere, so I wonder how that this market can survive if it is small as you say. I guess there are some fat cats in Singapore.
In one shop who sells Nordost the lowest priced cable was the Valhalla and that shop was full of Odin boxes. I spent 4 hours there and nearly missed my flight out of there.
