Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?


A dealer of mine convinced me into buying Analysis Plus speakers cables that I have enjoyed for a few years now. I noticed some other companies making speaker cables for many multiples of $1k and wondered how many truly good companies are making budget speaker cables nowadays? Who are they? What are the prices?  I had Blue Jean speaker cables some years back and thought they were as good as the Analysis Plus brand I have now. What is your brand?

The best cables I have found were my Kimber PBJ's. Over the years I have tried about 6 or 7 different manufactures. Not a whole bunch but they were all budget IC under $100 a pair. I believe the PBJ may have slightly more as they are priced today. I purchased mine approximately 15 years ago. There is a difference for sure but we all have our own tastes. Order 3 or 4 cables on Amazon,try and keep what you like. The only draw back is they do not carry many of the small cable manufactures. Nothing wrong with cables from the big manufactures though, like  Audioquest, Kimber, etc.  You may find cable companies who will allow you to return cables if you do not like them.  Good luck! Have fun doing it!
