Hi all

For 4 years I’ve been using DAC cables for my speakers (Elac Debut B6 ). Want to try out some other branded cables that won’t cost an arm and a leg, to see if it makes any perceptible difference in sound (hopefully for the better ).

Your suggestions please (along with current price and availability)

Thanks in advance
 
I had the same itch and got some audioquest and chord Cables: all within Rs.3 k per 2 metre pairs. I could perceive small differences but try as I might I could not decide which one I liked better.
I suggest that if possible borrow a cable or two from your local friendly HFV Member or Audioguru and try them out. You might end up with the itch scratched and money saved too.
good luck!
 
Recently I purchased Klotz LY225 speaker cable from HifiMart. It's damn good. Coming from 18 AWG wire, I could immediately feel the difference in sound quality.

Hey! Where did you get Chord and Audioquest cables for 3K each for 2m pairs? Are these unterminated cables?

Hi Shyam, I bought the Chord cable in London four years ago. There were several types of Chord cables. This was the cheapest one, (4 meters for £32, unterminated). Audioquest I bought from a seller in Chennai last year.

Which brand was the 18 gauge wire and what was the length of cable used between your amp and speakers? I was in a similar quandry recently regarding whether the terminated 16AWG 12 feet cables which are prefitted with banana plugs are worth it or would there be disadvantages considering the gauge vis-a-vis the length...

Those wires didn’t have any brand mentioned. It was installed by the guys from whom I bought the HTiB setup. Then I bought Dali speakers and was using it with the same wire. Once I got some knowledge about the OFC speaker wires and gauges, I thought of changing it and the difference in sound quality was immediately noticeable, it gave good clarity and sound became more open.
My room dimension is 12*8, not a big room though. But it made me to realise that the wire quality n gauge is one of the important factor for good sound quality.
 
Monoprice sells a range of finished speaker cables, which are an option. ELAC also sells speaker cables, i think they are called Sensible cables.
I'd suggest the QED XT 25 or the higher versions in the series, they are good value for the money.
