Mapleshade and Maple Audio Cables


Has anyone heard of these cables? I find their websites full of claims to be giant killers. The Mapleshades are very inexpensive and claim to beat out transparent, monster, etc. http://www.mapleshaderecords.com/tweaks/speakercable.html

While i haven't tried any of these cables, the literature that they provide for these products has some TALL "double-speak" in it. Any company that has to resort to that type of thing makes me leary of doing business with them. Then again, almost all of audio is "hype", so i guess that i wont be buying much gear in the future : ) Sean

Using "micro" wire is nothing new. Magnan has been doing it for many, many years. As far as i know, i think that they were the first to "document" just how important wire gauge really was and that the effects of "skin effect", and inductance / capacitance of wires were quite noticeable within the audio range of frequencies. Matthew Polk was also a forerunner in this area also if i remember correctly. Sean
