It is always best to try some from a good dealer , then select from those you have tried, I have found.
You could well spend double and find it sounds different and not especially better
This is my personal finding
I always take What Hi-Fi's awards with a huge pinch of salt.Quote:

Bought a pair of these Edge cables recently and very impressed by them too, especially so for the asking price https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EDGE-1m-P...72.m2749.l2649
I suggest getting a soldering iron and constructing your own.
Most of my cables are DIY, Ive found its a good way of experimenting, and a cheap way of getting the most out of you system.
A cable may sound good in one position in your system but move it somewhere else and it spoils the sound.
I prefer silver cables, solid or silver plated copper.
Agree with Mick and Dominic.
Ignore What Hi Fi recommendations.
Use eBay to buy CarboKab 225 cable and Star Line Silver RCA plugs.
Will cost you around £30
Those Edge ones on eBay do look remarkable value at just £15 for a 1 metre pair!
They saw off a £300 pair no botherQuote:

Theres a loan list for the SPOTFIRE cable I make, why not look it up, join it and have a listen and see if you NEED some new cables. As it's a loan, there's no obligation and you can see how your cables compare. All for free!!!!!

Yes, indeed. BTW, this Qed is a good cable, doesn´t matter if is cheap. I guess I will buy a few more records, and forget the cable story...Quote:
