3 budget speaker cable choices

Thanks. How many hours of burn in does the trick w Canare?

Thanks!

I was going to order from Ram Electronics as they can include a nice sleeve for not much more. BJC would be a little cheaper tho. How are the BJC connections?

Interesting point. Anyone else feel the weld is a game changer?

Well this complicates things! I was all set to order the Canare in the morning....

Final decision today. Welded BJC connectors a clear improvement or will soldered connectors and a nice looking tech flex jacket from Ram sound virtually the same on the 4S11?

Hell I can't decide! Sounds like both have advantages. The BJC rep I talked to said he saw no advantage to the 1313 but Greg Sears by them! Many say weld is better but others tout quality of crimp on Ram. Need to check diameter of my speaker posts as I think they are larger and may need the 8mm spades from Ram as opposed to 6mm from BJC.

Still haven't ordered but will this week. Before I do, are Anticable level 2 worth throwing into the mix?

Ordered the 4S11's with sleeve from Ram. Hope to have them next week. 

I did tell them when I ordered over the phone. I almost didnt order because of the break in. Hope they don't take a year to sound good!

Means: does not matter. I think.

Got them today. Very happy so far considering they are new. Finishing second cd, a couple albums next.

The Canare cables are sounding really good. It's funny but they sounded good the first night, brighter and a bit harsh the second night( even on the same cd) and fantastic last night on other recordings. Who knows how much of that is the cables, power, my ears/adjustment or other factors such as the infamous "break in".

Anticables are intriguing and I plan on trying some out after adjusting to the 4s11 for awhile. 

Very happy so far. They have settled in and disappeared. Not likely to change anytime soon.
