ProAc Speaker Cables

Posted by: Timmo1341 on 02 April 2017

Has anyone experience of using ProAc Signature Black Speaker Cables with their speakers? Their price (less than £30 per metre) suggests they may not be quite in the same league as Superlumina, Chord Epic Reference, Tellurium Q Ultra etc., but then again neither is NACA5, and we all know how popular that is paired with very expensive amps and speakers. As I'm almost certainly going to be buying the K6s, just wondering whether or not to bother requesting a loan from ProAc before finally deciding. Whilst here, does anyone know of a friendly South Western dealer who stocks Tellurium Q? My dealer doesn't (Naim and Chord cables only), and before parting with lots of money, having read the ecstatic reviews elsewhere on this site, I wouldn't mind giving Ultra Blacks a whirl!

I wouldn't bother with else than NAC A5 until you have the best possible power and signal cable to exploit your chain, have you?

Experience tells me, their are far superior cables available as opposed to the bog standard Nac a5.

The only draw back is, high end cables do come at a significant price.

I am an advocate of TQ cables, the reason being they are without question exceptional cables.

Marcus and Rob at Senso are very good. They didn't deal with TQ when I was there last buying a pair of speakers, but they may do now. Failing that, the dealer [@mention:50422349809511500] and I use will send out anything you want to try.

Powerlines and Superlumina interconnects. Whether or not they are 'best possible' is, of course, entirely a matter of opinion. NAC A5 is not an option for me, choosing as I did Chord Epic Twin in preference when buying my original system. Neither NAC A5 nor Superlumina speaker cables 'do it' for me in comparison to Chord offerings. 

It would appear that no one has experience of the ProAc cables? Given the price of the K6s perhaps they'll chuck in a set gratis?!
