Default Cable loom for Guarneri Evolution

I am looking for input on synergistic cable matches for this speaker.
Currently considering giving Nordost a shot. Supposedly the newer updated line is nice.
Maybe the Heimdall 2 or Tyr 2. Any others I should strongly consider? Need interconnect and speaker cabling and potentially power cable.

Jason.......I am completely cabled with Wireworld Silver Eclipse interconnects and speaker cables, and Wireworld Silver Electra power cords on my studio system. I am driving SF Amati Anniversario's. The sound is heavenly. With the Subscriber discount available from Legend Audio, Wireworld is the best bang for the buck I have found. Great cables at all price points.

I agree, have had the WW Silver Eclipse ls cables. Now driving with Yter cables: the internal wiring of the Amati Anniversario's is identical to these ls cables. In my opinion a bit more musical than the Wireworlds (and a more decent look). Both are a very good choice.

IMO cables needs to have synergy with the entire system not just the speakers. I have tried a number of different brands and all has different sound characteristics. Its not one size fits all and definitely no right nor wrong answer to it.

I uses Audience in all my ICs while bi-wiring the speakers with Yter to my amplifier - the combi works for me. As I am after dynamics with good ambiance, speed, clarity, balance mids and controlled low notes. High on my list would be Transparent cables.

Cheers~

I have Transparent Ultra MM2 speaker cables now.
Maybe I should stick with them and just buy a Ultra or Reference MM2 interconnect for now...

Can't go wrong with Transparent, IMO. I moved up from Ultra to Ref XL (mm2) interconnects and speaker cables. Game over.

I ordered a set of Audioquest Rocket 88 speaker cables (72v DBS) and a Earth (72v DBS) Interconnect (this replaces the Colorado in the Audioquest line) with Teflon Dielectric, etc. Just something to tide me over and connect everything until I can make a good decision on what fits well with my new speakers and gear.

I had an Oldsmobile Rocket 88, way back when either y'all were children or your parents were children.
