Thank you in deed, I have written to most you have all recommended and in the process of getting proposals. Its been very informative and truly appreciate the valuable inputs from everyone as usual!
Interconnects & Speaker cables
Looking for a custom cable guy to get a set of long length (75') speaker cables to drive my Dynaudio C4's with BAT gear & also a pair of single female XLR to Dual male XLR Y cables. Any suggestions? I used to get some really good silver cables built by Tom at White Zombie but seems like they are no more in business, as I wrote to him and there is no response. Any suggestions & contacts would be helpful! Thanks!

75 feet! And with speakers whose impedance, as shown here, is less than 4 ohms in parts of the mid-bass which typically require lots of energy. Ouch! You need heavy gauge/low resistance, and fairly low inductance per unit length. You also presumably need to keep the price somewhat within the range of sanity. I would rule out Clear Day on the basis of inadequate gauge for your application, even in double-shotgun configuration. Regarding Crystal Clear, there don't appear to be technical specs at their website, and I have no particular knowledge of their cables or their prices. OCOS is reputed to be well suited for long lengths, but I believe that 75 feet of it would cost a not so small fortune, especially in its top of the line versions. Mofi's recommendation of Signal Cable, especially its "Silver Resolution" cable, is likely to be a fine choice IMO, based on the suitability of its specs for your application, on their very fair pricing (although, nevertheless, 75 feet of it would cost a bit more than $2K), on comments I've seen about it, and on my own positive experiences with their power cords and interconnects. And also on Mofi's history of providing excellent recommendations :-) Hope that helps. Regards, -- Al |
