Need replacement for garden hose Audio Advisor


There is a lot of good info on this site....and good minds as well. So I would like to hear a few experiences any of you might have had.
I run a slighty Modified Audionics CC-2 driving a set of Pro Ac Tab/2's.
I love the speakers and the sound I have but am very tired of the garden hose Audio Advisor cables that connect them. I have had to resort to cable ties to keep the things on the stands. (Silly putty gives up after a while with a horizontal pull.)
This all.....kind of being driven by my wife crying out in disgust at the looks of the system.

I am very sensitive to the top end, and lean towards all the information being passed rather than the "smooth" rolled off character some folks seem to prefer.

Without getting into the "shun-mookie and tice clock" ozone layer, what have you folks found for manageable, quality seamless cable that is not the size of garden hose??

My wife would very much like the roll of Radio Shack 18 guage. Don't understand her issue though...... Doesn't everyone have a packed 7 foot metal studio rack in thier living room?

The Homegrown Silver lace is a very good value cable that offers excellent definition and balance and is easy to bend and flex. It is a multi wire weave and will not pull your equipment off the rack by its weight or thickness.
Gumby D: Good luck on finding it used (some have purchased leftover portions, of whole kits, this way). I would love to pick up additional OTA as well to replace the internal wiring in some old components (it makes great hookup wire, though is a bit hard to work with in this application).
Dekay: Have you ever heard the guys equipment that sells that cable?
His CD transport looks interesting.
(Though I would be drawn and quartered before you would see me paying 1/4 of that for a transport....)
Just curious. The photos on his site (aren't those a set of (eck!) ginS speakers?) do not impress me much. Curious if anyone out there has heard the stuff on more than a set of home-made fostex based single driver speakers.....
Hey,Gumbydammit! Watch those cracks about Fostex based single driver home built speakers. FIY, they likely reveal more than anything you've ever set ears on. If you don't like the sound of them, then maybe(probably) it's the gear that was driving them. Personally, if I were buying cables, I'd want to hear what they sounded like. Not much chance of that after running the signal through a shipload of transformers, capacitors, resistors , circuit boards, connectors, and wires, before you even get to the drivers. And then, of course we'd want to put that crossover inside the speaker so it can get as much vibration and microphonics as possible to really "enhance" the sound. Now maybe if you're a bass freak, they won't go low enough to suit you, and that's fine. But, if you're talking about revealing the nuances of the cable you are buying, then the single driver system is the one that will do that in spades! I will admit that "diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks is true, but facts are facts and the less stuff you run a signal through the less screwed up it will be. So I'll leave you to your favorite speaker to evaluate whatever you want, but realize that people out here may have the product you slam, so be ready to "duck and run!"
Nordost cables are an option if you're not into diy . It depends on your budget, but it's often available used.
