Canare 4S11"G" now available!

•The 4S11G has a 99.96% pure OFC conductor.

•4s11 uses copper with a purity of 99.9

The characteristics of the cables are exactly the same. The difference is so insignificant in purity, in my opinion, it will not be noticeable at all by ear. Those who already use 4s11g instead of 4s11 write that the resolution has improved a little, there is a little more air and naturalness. All of the above can be attributed as self-hypnosis and should not be taken seriously. These changes are ephemeral. )))

● Answer from a Canare representative.

Hi Sergey,

4S11G feature OFC co­nductor with 99.96% purity.

4S11 feature tough-p­itch copper which is the most commonly used for conductor wi­th 99.9% purity.

The higher the purity of copper gives be­tter conductivity.

Thank you.

@roxy54 "I guess it never ends. Oxygen free, then why not OCC, and while they’re at it, could they make the insulation PTFE?"

Actually this cable has a better insulator, polyethylene, than PTFE, polytetrafluoroethylene, with a lower dielectric constant plus makes a better softer jacket. I know I’m over a year late to this discussion but I was looking something up on a current thread and saw this one. For what it’s worth, 4S11G a veritable bargain for what you get. Blue Jean Cable can always knock out a pair with a welding process you’re not typically going to have at home unless your a manufacturer or just a fanatical audiophile, and you know, we don’t want to be called that.

I may have missed it, but what was your conclusion of how the 4s11G stacked up against the 4s11 (which I use).

@jetter...thanks for the reply!  You didn't miss anything, I forgot to post my findings, sorry.

I have a system in one of my record rooms that I use for cable burn-in.  I put a little over 200 hours initially on the "G" version and swapped them into my main system.  I actually preferred the original version better, (these have thousands of hours on them).  So I took out the "G" and put another 300 hours on them for a total of around 500 hours.  Put them back in and really couldn't tell any difference at all.  Both sound very, very good.  I really tried to hear an improvement, but it just wasn't there.  Maybe, if the "G" had the massive amount of time on them that my regular cable has/had, there might be a very slight difference...just speculating though.

If I was to start from scratch, I would probably go ahead and get the "G" version since they are only like .50 cents more a foot, but if I already had the regular version, I see no need to replace them.

I still feel that these are INCREDIBLE cables and sound as good if not better than cables at many times the price, (and yes, I have been there, done that many times over).

Thanks for your response, it actually saves me from building a set of the 4s11Gs.  My experience with speaker cable is limited as I have only used Belden, Alpha Core Goertz, Acoustic Zen, the inexpensive Micca cables Steve Huff was raving about and a few others like Monster, etc.

But the Canare 4s11s are great for my system.
