Inexpensive speaker cable for Merlin


I tried to find a thread that would cover the topic of inexpensive speaker cables, but couldn't find any.
Any cable under $500 that works well for the Merlin MME's.
Soon to be had with master bam.

Pedrillo,

I am also using a 12' pair of Supra Classic 6 that I made up, with a braided sheath, Furutech rhodium bananas, and heat shrink where neccessary. They look good, and sound great with my VAC PA 35.35, and HPD 315 Tannoys. I kind of forgot about them, as the other cables have such a splash overseas, the Supra slipped my mind. They really are very, very, good.

Pedrillo,

I'm waiting for some speaker cable that has been a very hot topic lately on the Yahoo Tannoy site, known as the "surprise cable", everyone that has tried has raved about it. It's made in Russia! As far as I know it doesn't have a specific name. It's dirt cheap though, with shipping from Latvia or someplace like that, a three meter pair was $58. It comes with no terminations, and in fact they are not reccommended, and have a clear covering ala Monster Cable. I'll let you know how it sounds. It's supposed to be revolutionary.

Regards,

Hi Pedrillo,

I finally got my speaker wires (it's a long way from Lithuania to Washington State). I finally got around to putting them in a couple of nights ago, and, by God, they sound damned good! It cost me $58 including shipping, for a stereo pair of 10'. I even think they might be a bit better than my $1400 cables. What the heck, there's not much to lose. If you are interested, send me an email, and I'll get you the guy's contact info in Lithuania.

Regards,
Dan
