Duelund 12 ga. The reviews are mentioned in an earlier post. A well known speaker manufacturer steered to them as he said they had embarrassed all the big ticket cables they were using. $8.00 a foot!!! Tried them and they surpassed the top of the line hiDiamond and wywires diamond cables I had. In one review (perhaps one of the ones shown in the prior posting) the reviewer replaced high priced High Fidelity cables with them. All systems are different but in mine they are quite something. Here is an excerpt from the positive feedback review: "Generally speaking, all of the Duelund DCA tinned-copper cables share a unique combination of intensity of tone color, dynamic prowess, timbral realism, vivid presence, and a compelling portrayal of beat and tempos, that distinguishes them from copper or silver cables, and makes them immensely satisfying to listen to music with"
Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience?
I’m currently running some entry Kimber Kable speaker cables and looking at possibly upgrading. In my research I’ve come across some “budget” options on eBay. I assume they’re not great but curious if anyone has any experience with some “no-name” or “budget” cables?
Thoughts on these?
Thanks!

10 Audio Mogami Neglex cables on AG Very transparent and neutral cable, IMO. Running a fool loom in my system. I was embarrassed when I heard these and thought about some of the megabucks cables I'd previously spent money on. I will second the suggestion regarding treating the room. The best money I've ever spent on my system. |
I have pretty expensive speaker cables that I liked ($6,000) and I recently got hold of cheap Van den Hul Clearwater cables ($150). I was surprised at how good they sound - actually better than my expensive cables. They are perfectly balanced, now I just enjoy listening to music instead of analysing. I have an impression that expensive cables tweak the sound often, and, if lucky, you may actually find the perfect sound you were looking for. Back to my case, I have a tube amplifier and Franco Serblin Accordo speakers, and I was wondering, perhaps thinner less complex cables can simply be a better match in terms of capacitance, for example. Resistance of thick wires is probably negligent in my case when my cables are just 2 metres long. |
