I’m awaiting delivery of my SN3/HiCap DR and need to buy new speaker cable to hook up my Dynaudio Focus 140s.
I’m currently running 4.2 m of Kimber cable with apparent incompatible construction and terminations.
I’m inclined to go with Witch Hat cables as I need to route them round a fire place and under carpet. My main question is whether I’m best going for the Phantom or the N2? I won’t have any comparison or reference point as it’s a new system to me however is the Phantom too much/advanced for my amp & speakers or am I as well forking out once and not needing to upgrade again?
I used to have a similar system to yours and can recommend the Witch Hat Phantom cable. I still use it on my current system as I’ve heard nothing better at this price level.
The good thing is you can return it within 30days for a refund if you don’t like it.
If you can afford it then go for the Phantoms as I pretty much guarantee you’ll end up getting them anyway in a few years time.
I have an SN3 and noticed a big improvement from the QED Silver Anniversary XT.
Keep an eye on the auction site and UK forums, I bagged an 8M pair of Phantoms for £390 recently. Far too long for what I need but futureproofed if I ever relocate my system / speakers.
No I think I probably did not allow for proper burn in. I was away from home for 10 days just after receiving the phantoms and then I was anxious to not miss the deadline for returning them for a refund. I have naca5 jumper leads which may or may not have influenced my experience. My speaker leads lie along the floor and I don’t know if that had any influence on my experience.
Just had delivery of my jumper cables
