sammynb 3655 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 After moving house I'm just about to assemble what amounts to the new stereo. Does anyone have any experience with gold plated or gold tipped RCA cables? Are they any better? Silver and copper speaker wire? Obviously the thickness matters but is there any worth in the "audiophile" cabling? Or is it just one big audio jimbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus 0 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 im a huge believer in better quality speaker cables but not so much the interconnects. a slighty bright or dull system can be tamed by careful cable choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14021 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 It's like a guitar cable. A £6 Cable will do the beginner but once your jamming it into a Blues Deville (4 x 10) and cranking it up to a hall you really need something decent and proper. I stop at £30 like But I am after getting them custom made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4447 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Like everything else I think quality is worth paying for up to a certain point - the price difference for gold interconnects is pretty nominal to make not doing it pointless but I'd definitely splash out on speaker cable - try bi-wired.
