Hi poldo,

Try to audition Tellurium Q black speaker cable if it's within your budgetSmile

Sorry poldo I'm not sure what's the conductors are made of as it does'nt say on the description. But IME it simply outperforms the Naca5(copper) and Chord epic(silver-plated copper) I used to ownSmile

Right now i have the ocos, chord silverscreen, epic and signature cables on loan. 

I must say i prefer the ocos, chords are too bright.

Hi poldo

I'll feel that you should also consider using standard 500 strand OFC speaker cables.

All the best

RE: speaker cables + analogue interconnect

I have bought the Ocos speaker cable, very good cable love it.

Chord cobra plus does a good job, but could I better it by another cable?

Amp exposure 3010s2 - dac exposure 2010s2 speaker pmc 22.

By the way Exposure - PMC is a great match, shame WHF never reviewed the new exposure range.

RE: speaker cables + analogue interconnect

I don't know if I can help you but OK here's my try.

Have owned Chord Carnival and Chord Crimson speaker cables and interconnects. I was very pleased with it, especially for the money, they were sold at a good price. The sound was nice and easy I think, nothing wrong with it.

Later on switced over to Wireworld Oasis 6 cables, that I use still, for speaker and interconnect. Sound characteristics were not very diifferent from that Chord cables. But the level of performance is simply two steps up! 

I can't tell you how it will work in your ssystem, because I don't know exactly your equipment. But in my system (Roksan cd and Arcam amp with Sonics speakers) they function wonderfully rockin out

So maybe you can give it a try.
