Recommendation needed - Cables for my system

[Igor]

Hello,



My system is made of Electrocompaniet ECI-2 amp (50 W /8 ohma), Cyrus dAD3Q
cd player, speakers are Audio Epilog, model Cortez, handmande by local
manfacturer here in Croata, 88dB, 10 Ohma. These speakers are using Focal
drivers, the sound is detailed with good extension in bass, very good
soundstage, but with some sharpness in high freq.

My previous amp was Maranty PM 66SE and I've replaced it with ECI-2. ECI
has solved this problem with tweeters. In my opinion it is a fine piece of
amp, very musical and also good looking.

At this moment I'm serching for optimal speaker cabele and optimal
interconct cable for my system.



Please feel free to write down your recommendations.

(I'm thinking to try with LAT SS-1000 D or MIT Terminator 2 for speaker
cable. )



My listening room dimensions are 5.0 m x 3.5 m, hight is 2.80 m. Music that
I'm listening is various, about 50% is jazz in all of it's beautiful
variations, from avantguarde & free to bebop&swing, some rock and some
classical.



Can you also recommend a power supply cable for ECI-2?



Best regards,



Igor

get 16 guage speaker wire from the hardware store.
get microphone cable and put nickel plated plugs on the ends. Go with gold
plated plugs if you want to splurge. The $10 cables at radio shack are fine.
Don't buy "pseudo balanced" cables; they only succeed at adding noise and
reducing shielding. Properly designed equipment will work fine with
unbalanced shielded cables.

Spend any more, and you're just ****ing your money away. Give $500 to your
favorite charity if you can't think of anything better.
