Hi, I need some help.
As you can see by the title It involves a new acquisition, an Ayre C-5xe and my Kii 3 speakers. I am trying to get ready for the Ayre's arrival by having a 1.5 m AES/EBU cable on hand to link the two together but what will be best suited for the job. I'm taking a guess that the Ayre will be on the warm side while the Kii's are not. Does anyone have experience of either of these and can point me in the right direction. First do I go Carbon, Copper, Silver coated copper or pure silver. I think I will be buying used as there is no way I can afford new. At least not in the cables I looked at, AudioQuest Diamond or Vodka, and Kimber Kable Illuminatios Orchid which had been recommended to me.
I also saw other cables in the more affordable range but don't know where they fall on the Good, Better, Best scale, DH Labs D-110 AES/EBU Silver Reference or Silver Sonic, Cardas Clear AES/EBU, Acoustic Zen MC2 Absolute 110 Ohm XLR or non Absolute, Kimber Kable Select KS2120 AES and so on.
What gets you vote and why.
Thanks for your help.
Casso.
