Also very much intrigued by Jorma cables. They seem to be a little artisan builder that looks interesting. If you look at it carefully you will see little reviews but good ones and no ads in the magazines. Are the 2 things correlated ? ??.
I want to make no mistake because there are so many brands in cables, so many models and so many new models and brands each year.... Prices are very high when bought new but decrease so fast and so much when you want to re sell. I would like to keep it on long term, beginning with speaker cable and continue with interconnects and power cables.
So if don't want to ruin myself I also have to choose a reasonably priced one.
It seems crazyness about High Fidelity decrease a little these times. Mwhat have been your own path with cables ? Did you find peace ?
Yes cables are something of a minefield and it is not easy to navigate.
I know of but am not really familiar with Jorma cables. I recall reading some posts about them on this forum which I think were mainly favourable. There may be other members who can give you more information on them.
The first serious cables I bought many years ago were Chord but at best they were good budget range cables. The first high end cables were Nordost Valhalla and I ended up with pretty well all the system having their cables - power, i/c and speaker cables. It was then I auditioned the Tellurium top of the then range and as I said earlier did not like them and tried the Entreq cables which I really like and which I believe are very good. Their user friendliness compared with the Valhalla power cables was a real bonus. So I am sticking with Entreq for all my cables and progressively upgrading them.
It is their natural musical sound which decided it for me. Their synergy with each of the different levels within their range means you can upgrade over time and I am sure that going all Entreq does have significant benefits in grounding the system. I will be sticking with them.
Their prices are competitive with other high end brands such as MIT, Purist Audio and Tara labs which all have their supporters.
Which cables to go for is a big decision because you really need to stick with one brand for the best system synergy, incremental upgrading through the range and to avoid the pretty high costs of changing to another brand while still only halfway to getting to. or near to, the top of the range.
To the best of my knowledge there are no real bargain cables out there. Good ones are not cheap whichever manufacturer you choose, but they are in my experience cost effective if you get the the ones that work well in your system,
Certainly it is advisable to try before you buy and I have found Entreq very willing to let you do that.
On the whole I think the best advice is if you find a brand that you like and it works well with your system then stick with that brand and move up the range as resources permit.
Hope that helps and good luck!
