I was thinking about upgrading my Transparent Super Bi-cables; but, yesterday I grabbed a tool and re-torqued. On a few of the binding posts I heard an audible "crunch". And when I resumed listening - wow! They sound like new speaker cables. I believe the metal in the spade terminals can crystalize and breaking through that will increase conductivity. The difference was quite audible.
Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience?
I’m currently running some entry Kimber Kable speaker cables and looking at possibly upgrading. In my research I’ve come across some “budget” options on eBay. I assume they’re not great but curious if anyone has any experience with some “no-name” or “budget” cables?
Thoughts on these?
Thanks!

Teflon covered, 16 strand core silver-plated OFC copper. I ordered enough for tri-wiring my Spendor SP9/1 speakers. I'll let you know how they sound. 1.5M/1pair:75USD (2-2 Y spade terminals) 1.5M/1pair:95USD (2-4 Y spade terminals) I'll let you know how they sound. |
