DAC Cables - How good are they?

Hi,

How good are DAC speaker cables available at Vector, Hyderabad? There are 2 varieties - DAC STK 14 Rs.76 Mtr / STK 16 Rs.46 Mtr.

I need to choose cables for my Wharfedale Diamond 9.6 speaker system in a 7.1 setup to pair with a Denon AVR 1909 receiver. I have already placed an order and hope to get them in a few days from now.

What guage do you recommend for the different speakers? Can I use 16 guage for all the speakers? or is it better to use 14 guage for the Tower speakers? DAC STK 14 seems to be a good choice if it works well. Vector sells Monster THX SP16 cable for abt Rs.125 per meter. Which is a better choice ? DAC STK 14 or Monster THX SP 16?

What Subwoofer cable do you recommend? Is it necessary to use a connector or is it better to directly connect the cable to the speaker and receiver? Pls recommend some connectors and their price.

Please advice on brands and prices. Also where I can buy them at Hyderabad. QED is too expensive for me. Monster too. Something around Rs.100 per meter, please.

Regards,

Eswar.

Its always better to go for thicker cables for the fronts ! as you mention the 14 for fronts and 16 rest is the ideal most !!

The DAC has some decent subwoofer cables ! please check it out !! they are very good as I've used them myself !

Hi eswar :

Have been using OCC cables and inter connects from DAC and have found it to be really excellent. Qualitywise am sure their OFCs' must also be equally good.

Hey SounsGreat, I was not aware of the manufacturing process of DAC cables. Makes me smile a bit more. Thanks Sreekanth.

Cheers

Thanks Arun. I will check em both at Vector.

Denon, Wharfedale, and DAC cables? Sound Yummy!

Congratulations !!! Keep regaling us with what you hear and see and how you like the sound of movies and music.

Hi Venkat,

I am yet to receive the Wharfedale Diamond 9.6 Tower speakers and the Denon AVR 1909. Vector says the 9.6s are presently out of stock with their distributor. Maybe, in a few days' time. All the others have been delivered. Denon 1909 may take at least a week or more. Only then will DAC enter the picture.

Thanks anyway as my final choice has been made based on your opinion too.

Regards.

Eswar.
