12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable?


This week I will get my new (to me) Denon 697ci to drive my Polk 8-T monitors. I have been using heavy gauge (12) speaker wire, but have a pair of Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cables coming. Will these cables sound any better than heavy speaker wire?

@ristrettox6 This makes more sense now that we know you are referring to Chinese knock-offs of the original $1100 Nordost cables. See how that would throw things? Anyhow, compare them and let us know how it all sounds. You had me at Hurry on Sundown!

There's no shame in buying cables from aliexpress, (at least I don't think that there is) but why didn't you admit that from the beginning? Didn't you think that it was pretty important to say that they were fakes?

1. cundare2 - I would love to hear more of this! Your story so compelling and well written! I never was exposed to someone who had this depth of history with my favorite musician, Are you familiar with Shakti and the various incarnations of John's acoustic side?

2. noromance - Such an awesome acoustic progression...

3. roxy54 I came here with no conception of "fake cables!" The "shame" here should be upon those who flared at me for asking a civil question.

I understand that you were badly treated by some here, but my question is didn't you know that genuine Nordost cables were much more expensive?

@roxy54 +1 a simple google search on Nordost is all it would have taken. Some feathers here getting ruffled by exceptionally timid breezes. (Self-concern trolling? Is that a "thing"? ;-) )
