Crimson Music Link Interconnects are the best bang for the buck I have ever tried by far at $360 for 1 meter !

These cables bring a HUGE amount of emotion into my system and makes me feel MUCH closer to the artist.

I find myself much more involved and drawn into the music like never before !

Any recommendations for a bi-wire speaker cable for TAD CR-1's hooked up to Burmester 911mk3's and/or a Dartzeel NHB-108 that will not break the bank and err on the warmer side of neutral. Something to hold me over for a little while. All I have are single wire cables (Transparent Super and Bluejeans cable) and use silver jumpers as necessary. I think I'd prefer using a bi-wire cable. Ideas?

DH Labs Silver Sonic. Larger gauge copper wire, thicker silver coating, military grade specs.

To me, there's a clear winner for this thread, and that's the Shunyata Venom3 power cord...originally priced at $99, now exorbitantly priced at $125 for 1.5 meters (5 ft) this power cord blows away a power cord from another well-respected (and rightly so) mfr that that costs 4-5X as much.

Also, Anti-Cables, at $10/foot per terminated pair are an amazing value for money.

Other high-end bang for the buck:
  1. Rega P5; competes with my $13K Gyro SE MkII/SME V/Koetsu UV, IMHO.
  2. HRT Music Streamers...any one of 'em is a screaming bargain...
  3. Oppo Universal players, most notably the BDP-83SE and BDP-95

Agree with Venom3. Great value. I tried anti cables IC and speaker wire. Didn't care as much for those - spatially confusing.

I am very pleased with the performance of the Wireworld Oasis speaker cable I am now using with my vintage system. Cost to performance is excellent.
