Two channel system is all Shunyata, even the outlets on both 20 amp lines. HT/Surround system is a mixture of Shunyata (power and 1 analog IC), MIT Shotgun S1.3 ICs, and Mapleshade speaker wire.
What do you use for cables ?????

:rofl:
I have part two of a large Shunyata order on its way. When all is done, I'll also have their Triton/Typhon power conditioners.
I'm finding the breakin process is long on the anacondas. Numerous owners have commented on this online.

Thank you...
Haven't heard the 7's in my system, but I'm pretty happy with these and would probably find it difficult to see them off in any case. They have gotten the best of Cardas GR's, Gabriel Gold Rapture R, Audioquest Sky and a few others I can't remember. Let's the music through and allows me to see what's going on upstream. What more can I ask?

With my current S5's and Constellation setup I'm using TL Zero Gold IC's, TL Omega Gold speaker, TL .3 IC's, TL Cobalt on all but cd and Bryston BDP-1, Shunyata Alpha Digital on those.
I also use Ansuz Acoustic cables, that has replaced Nordost.
I have the Ceramic version as the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] PC to the distributor, then ALU for feeding the rest.
Then Ceramic for my IC and Speaker cables are their entry level – POM.
USB cable is Acoustic Revive with seperate lines for power/signal.

I use Tara Labs ISM Onboard The One for my balanced interconnects, Tara Labs The One speaker cables and Tara Labs The One EX for all of my power cables.
Conventional design, material composition, geometry & good RF noise rejection ability are important qualities for me. I have a preference for silver in my system, particularly on the 2ch side which is tube driven, although there is quite a bit of copper in there too...
I have learnt that there a many ways to skin a cat & some brands anecdotally claim to perform synergistically better than others when used exclusively in an entire loom. The mixed choices below seem to work for me. Nothing ever sounds flat or fatiguing no matter the volume level. It's a very subjective thing... System complexity, environment & power, placement all influence cable performance. Not to mention one's constitution for the day can affect acuity!
We all have our favourites. My favourite brand is Siltech but my loom also consists of WireWorld & Furutech. Given the length of cable that is required to drive a combined 2ch & Multi-ch hybrid system with multiple sources, a complete Siltech loom is never going to happen in my world as much as that would be the ultimate desire when it comes to cables. I would love to own a pair of 2m Siltech Royal Signature G7 XLRs Queen or better from pre-amp to MC2301 amps. Currently WireWorld Platinum Eclipse G7 feed all MC2301s. When more Siltech does find its way someday, I propose moving the WW XLRs to the source to replace Siltech Classic Anniversary 770is which would probably go into the HT mix. I toggle source between Furutech & these. The Siltech get more play time.
Furutech Flux product are also excellent value & offer a highly resolving, forward soundstage. The Flux Rhodium terminations are of high quality & finish but do take their time to come of age.
Speaker cables are WireWorld Platinum Eclipse G7 bi-wire. The new G7 geometry is a huge advancement IMO & are a formidable choice in the silver core category. These cables are continuing to surprise me as they reach their hours. They came my way because the price was right.
Surround speakers are dressed Dali BOA silver coated copper bi-wire terminated with Furutech Flux Bananas & TechFlex Flexo Conductive carbonised filament braid. This bulk cable was outsourced by Dali & manufactured in Germany. The assembly outperformed a few other cables I ABX'd on loan when considering new wire to drive the fronts before taking the punt with the WireWorld.
Power for MC2301 amps are Siltech Ruby Mountain II G7 factory terminated with Furutech Flux FI-50. Another pair of these, please.
Phono stage is Furutech Flux Silver Arrows. I love it forever!
On the HT side, power is Furutech FP-3TS20 terminated with Furutech Flux FI-50 & braided with TechFlex Flexo Conductive. XLRs & RCAs (analogue Multi-ch in) are Furutech FA-220-50 terminated with Furutech Flux & braided with Techflex Flexo conductive.
The Studer A810 also has 2 pairs of these XLRs as well. Some audiophiles have criticised carbonised filament braid for its alleged damping effect, but I tend to think otherwise. If anything, the RF rejection ability of this braid helps to present a blacker background.
All HDMI is WireWorld Platinum Starlight G7. I never thought HDMI would make a difference but the rudimentary HDMI error correction protocol (near enough is good enough interpolation) is discernable well before the waterfall effect kicks in & collapses the signal.
There is a WireWorld Platinum Eclipse G7 USB cable waiting for a CAPS media server solution. I haven't had much time to really play with it yet.
From what I have experienced, the most important cable link in the system chain is between the pre-amp & amplifiers. The best interconnect that I am currently willing to afford is in that stage of the loom. More important than costlier loudspeaker cables IMO.
All components have Furutech Flux-50 inline power filters attached. This surprisingly was a huge performance boost & I highly recommend this product. These appear to work best with conventional power cables (without inbuilt networking).
YMMV.
