- Hi,
- I have an urgent question about interconnects and speaker
- cables for my new system...there seems to be too many different
- opinons about the wires. My friend, whose system I've listened to
- before, recommended MIT interconnects and cables for my ARC system.
- But when I talked to the salesperson, he was totally against this and
- thought I should try wires with Litz, in this case, Hyperlitz design to
- complement the ARCs (He mentioned the wires inside ARC components are
- "twisted?") So I opted for Kimber Kable Silver, but ultimately
- switched to Audioquest Lapis interconnects and Audioquest Clear speaker
- cables. Does anyone have any experience with ARC components or these
- wires? Is the Clear 6N copper? My friend was distressed when I told
- him what I purchased; he insisted on MIT and Kimber interconnects and,
- I think,he agreed on the Audioquest Clear. Incidently, we tried out
- the MIT's before with my ARCs and they sounded great...but I opted for
- Audioquest 'cuz the salesperson claimed MIT is great for solid-state
- equipment, but less desirable for hybrid designs. I'm using ProAC
- Response speakers. Any suggestions? Please email as soon as possible,
- thanks in advance!
