How do you select your cables?
As I venture further down this rabbit hole, known as high end audio...I am taking the plunge into upgrading my cables.
I'm starting with my power cables, after those are all replaced I will be moving on to the interconnects, then to seal the deal speaker cables.... Figured I would start with power cables, seeing I just purchased a used PS Audio PPP, with that being said, What do you look for when buying cables? |

Best way is to experiment. What is the best way to experiment? Buy a whole bunch and then sell all the ones you didn't like? No. A much better way is to borrow them and try them in your system once you have addressed proper speaker placement, assembled components that jell well together and put the finishing touch on your system with cables. Borrow them from the Cable Company library and once you come across cables that make your system sound great, stick to them and buy those. |
Once the realization sets in that moving a speaker less than a foot in your room can have a much more significant impact on overall tonal balance of the system and imaging than a $3k pair of speaker cables, it puts things into perspective. :D

Sound vs Price
That's how I make all my speaker, equipment, add-on choices. |

I like The Cable Company's lending library. By paying a 5% fee you can "borrow" any cable and use it in your system for a week. No better way to find out what works well for you in my view.
