    Default Interconnect advice please !

    Hi all,



    What interconnect cables do you think would suit my system the best ? Got some rubbish of old things at the moment !

    My system is

    Kef IQ5se speakers
    8000cd
    8000s Amp
    chord carnival silver screen cables

    I was looking at Chord Cobra 3 Audio Interconnect or Chord Chameleon Silver Plus Audio Interconnect as this is what HiFix recommanded to me. (They've been pretty spot on so far !)



    Thanks,

    Gbeer7

    Hehehe, was just typing Mark Grant as you posted Lee!

    Graham; have a look at Mark Grant's website, he sells excellent interconnects for a decent price. I have a spare set of the astonishingly good Canare LV-61S cables handy, you're welcome to borrow them if you want to give them a try before buying. Saying that they're exceptionally cheap anyway, and will happily destroy cables many times the price.

    Cheers guys. So not the chord route ? My speaker cables are chord, thought it would all help to match them.

    The Chord range is certainly good, but the same quality or better can often be had for less. Try the Canare cables, if they're what you want then go for those, if not then try some others.

    Personally I wouldn't necessarily strive to match cable brands all round, I'd go for whatever sounds the best to my ears.

    Don't worry mate, you'll soon get used to where everything is.

    I got the MG cables and I'm happy with them. You could go on forever trying different cables and spend a fortune.

    My system is very similar to yours too so I'm sure they'll fit in quite nicely.
