Best Cable material? Need advice!

[fendermadlewis]

Hey Guys, i'm new to this forum so hello to all from scotland!

I'm putting together a stereo for my bedroom and need some advice on speaker cables.

So far i have a Pair of mission 781s and a set of custom made heavy duty stands.

I'm after a second hand Arcam amp and i'm wondering what you guys think is the BEST speaker cable for the job.

Any YouTube comparisons would be handy!

Cheers!

If your budget is tight use some flex cable from B@Q, bit more QED79 strand or Van Damme maybe. You could go mad and spend £100,000+ on a full loom from BHB but you'd have to wait until you were invited to purchase it unfortunately.

something conductive would be just perfect. :^

Depends how much Timbre you want.

Metal. Significantly better IME than wood or plastic.

Bedroom system with Arcam and Mission? Seriously, get down to Maplins and splurge on their ultimate OFC cable.

It's got all the audiophile attributes, but it's cheap. Plus, it works perfectly.

Maplins is actually a good idea.

I'd have thought Lewis Hamilton could afford a better bedroom system anyway.

It would be worth it, after all he's got nowt else to do in there at the moment :dunno:

Nordost Odin. £25k for a 3m pair, but you'll know you're absolutely getting the best from your system. :^
