Canare 4S11
I am taking delivery tomorrow of a 15 foot pair of Canare 4S11 cables which I will incorporate into my secondary system. I do not expect much from them as I only paid $106.00 for the 15 foot pair with locking bananas on both ends from Ram Electronics. I am putting these cables up against my Groneberg Quattro Reference cables that go for $25.00 a foot plus termination. I am hoping for the best but am not expecting too much. We shall see. I will report on what I hear after the 200hr break in as that is what I am being told it takes to break them in.

Hmmmmm…. This sounds like something that the snake oil screechers would call Snake Oil, as according to them, nothing of that stuff really matters, inaudible, etc. etc. But, I guess because the price is cheap / reasonable, it’s not considered snake oil? I don't think Home Depot sells cable designs like Canare. Did you look at the wrap of the conductors or only the outer jacket?Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can radiate from these speaker lines directly into adjacent low voltage cables (i.e. microphone, video lines, etc.). Canare solves this problem by using a 4-conductor "Star Quad" configuration in all of our 4S Series speaker cables. Because every conductor is located the same distance from the center, the opposing magnetic fields are cancelled out. Attenuation of magnetic field radiation is superior when compared to a standard 2-conductor speaker wire. |
Oh I have. And still own the Canare speaker cables I posted on the link above. Scroll up. Admittedly, they are not my primary speaker cables, but I keep them as a benchmark for any speaker cables I try. Two runs, as I bi-wire.
