I used to use these with my Martin-Logan CLSs and they were great. I told HP about them and so The Absolute Sound did a review of them, which was quite favorable. They are solid copper (or silver) ribbons. Weren't very expensive, for the copper, back then. They have fallen off the map somewhat, but maybe you can contact them and see what you think. -docknow https://bridgeportmagnetics.com/3-functions-of-goertz-cables/ |
Thanks for all the input. There are so many exotic and cool designs I did not know of. So appreciate all the input. First, and I did not mention before, I need 3 runs of 21' and 3 runs of 13' of cable. Yes, I tri-amp each speaker which has 3 drivers...so a LOT of cable, which for economical reasons prevent any high-priced stuff in my situation. I am not going to spend 10k on cables ;-) Second, when I said "solid core" I had a very narrow definition in my mind. Max. 2 strands in a twisted pair (or star-quad) configuration or very similar minimalistic approaches. The mentioned Kimber 8PR definitely does not meet that standard (even though interesting concept). I was more looking for something like this https://jantzen-audio.com/wp-content/uploads/006-0085.pdf (I ordered some to make some tests...) And yes, I like the idea of DIY, and while the Neotech stuff looks great, some silver plated copper could work also work well.... https://www.awcwire.com/product/e20-1

Wow! That takes me back. Still using Type 4 on one of my systems. I have a 30-year+ history with Audioquest as a (semi-retired) dealer. I remember a demo a l-o-n-g time ago of the $1/ft Type 2 against a large, multi-stranded cable we were selling at the time costing many times more per feet. You guessed it. The Type 2 sounded better. We become "solid core" believers on the spot, and became an AQ dealer. 30+ years later we till use AQ internally in our performance mods. Rocket 44 is our 'go to' cable for most speaker upgrades. It sounds like you've had good experiences with the AQ cables you mentioned. Today's market has many legitimate offerings, and I'm sure there are some strong "bang for the buck" options for you out there. But, I'd certainly give the newer AQ offerings a look before pulling the trigger. |
