Speaker Cables

[Saunter]

Hi everyone,

I am new to Devialet. I have had a DE 200 for a couple of weeks.
My speakers are Australian made Lenehan ML2 Reference which are very neutral and transparent.
There is probably no chance these will ever get Samed unless they do another tour and i can get to a store...

I have tried some Neotech NES 3001, some cheap Mogami W3104, some Ribbon Teks an some Tempo Electric Soft Temper pure pure silver 10AWG.

With Neotech the vocals are recessed and soft for my liking but the bass is powerful and deep. With the Mogami everything sounds kind of dirty, they are not as clean sounding as the other cables. The Ribbon Teks are excellent in the mid range and highs although they add a strange veil to some vocals and i definitely want more bass than they let through. So far the Tempo Electric gives me the best balance. The clarity, detail and smoothness across the whole frequency range is just fabulous. I thought they would be too bright sounding but i am happy to say they just sound great.

I have to spend more time with each cable hooked up but that is my experience so far..

Once i establish my base line best i will keep it and then occasionally try other cables to see if there is any improvement..

I just don't get why some folks insist they can't here differences between cables..the differences i have described above are very very obvious.

I also had very different results with the cables when used with my Accuphase E 360 Integrated. The Mogami still sounded the worst though.

I have enjoyed reading through the thread and looking for other cables to try.
