By now most of you guys know just how impressed I have been with Doug's cables in my rig. They have been in use from the day I got them and have never been removed. I have since upgraded the crossovers in my 1.2tL's and the sound just keeps getting better and better. I logged into his site today and ordered a few more IC's for the rig today and found he is having a July 4th sale over there....

And to his Website...

Doug is a great guy to deal with and does some of the best cables and IC's available for the money. Now is a great time to give them a listen.

    nooshinjohn, which of Doug's cables would you recommend for an IC and which for speaker cables?

    I went on Doug's website but got confused at the various models found there and I also could not find the 2 models he mentioned in your other (original) post - the Furez locking RCAs for ICs, and the Furez TST WP48XLNP for speaker cables.

    I have never had quality cables. I am using WalMart or Best Buy generic ICs and Home Depot (GE) speaker cables - and I am curious about a cable upgrade, although my budget is limited.

    I would need them strictly for 2 channel: Polk SDA 2B TL speakers, Yamaha CR 2020 receiver (soon to be replaced by a Parasound HCA 1500A and as-yet-to-be-determined pre amp), Rotel RCC 1055 CD player, and Thorens TD-160 turntable.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for the info. That is a good idea - I will send him a pm and get his advice on what cables would be best, considering my gear and my budget.

    Discount, no discount still an excellent cable. If you're thinking of going the Signal Cable route I'd suggest you give these a try. I'm a gear flipper but now my cables aren't. Doug is amazing to deal with and you can thank me later for the suggestion. :wink:
