3 budget speaker cable choices

I did a recent post on the Canare 4S11 cables.  I broke in 2 pairs of speaker cables.  Read my post:

I have 2 sets of Canare 4S11 cables from Ram electronics, extremely satisfied and the build quality is off the charts.  If you do order from Ram, make sure you put in the note section that you understand these are custom terminations and can't be returned.  If you don't do that, you order will be held up until they get that from you.  It takes a week from start to finish.  These Canare cables bested my $1500.00 cables I was using previously.  The Canare cable works out to 11 gauge as per the manufacturer.

Ram Electronics does NOT solder the terminations.  They use WBT copper sleeves crimped on the wires and the spades or bananas are screwed into the crimp sleeve.  I compared the Blue Jeans with the Ram cables (buddy of mine has Blue Jeans) and the Ram cables are the better sounding with their terminations.

When you ordered, did you state in the notation area that you are aware that since you are ordering a custom made item, it can’t be returned unless defective?  If you didn’t, your order will be held up until they receive the disclaimer from you.  In that case, send them an email on Monday so they can advise.  It takes them about 4 business days to make the cables and ship.   Enjoy them and don’t be disappointed if the sound changes as the break in goes on.  At 500 hours, the sound is fantastic!

I broke in both sets of cables in my secondary system on the second floor of our house. I left them on 24/7 for 21 days (I think). After the first 2 hours, they sound wonderful and only get better as time goes on. Enjoy the break in, and don’t forget to let us know what you think of them. Enjoy!

@bajaed,

Did you receive the cables?   If so, how are they?

@lohanimal,

What does DNM mean?

@ebm ,

he was looking for speaker cables, not power cords.
