Doubling a Set of Speaker Cables


While reading a "professional "review of the Daedalus Audio Ulysses Floorstanding Speaker, the reviewer is adamant about the improvement TWO sets of speaker cables connected to each speaker - regardless of the brand - makes.

This is something that crossed my mind long ago, prior to reading it now, but I’ve never realistically considered trying it nor have I ever come across this in a review. At face-value it seems to me this technique would do more harm than good. I’m wondering if there are any folks on the forum using this technique of two sets of cables (and as mentioned in the article this is irrespective of bi-amping or merely using a smaller gauge) and if so, can/do you vouch for any "improvement" one should expect.

Thanks.

I use xlo Sig3 shotgun (4x4). They outperform the same model singles. I used to believe audiogoners and Some cable companies that claim higher end cables don’t offer better sound. I wish I’d begun experimenting with cables earlier instead of just reading because they are a fun and exciting part of this hobby. They are about the easiest components to get on trial or buy and sell. Jump in. There a lot of fun waiting to be discovered.
