- I believe that there will be a difference. Then, is there any agreement
- among the audiophiles regarding which cable is preferable for which
- system / which music ?
- For example, I have a Apogee Centaur (ribbon hybrid speaker) and
- (will buy) a tube amplifier. I listen to classical music, mostly
- Baroque musics (Bach, Vivaldi, ...etc). Then what cable would you
- recommend in this case ?
- Do you have any other recommendations for other cases ?
