Rogue Speaker cable: Hard to believe??
First, Rogue speaker cable has no connection to the noted Rogue Audio to the best of my knowledge.
Nevertheless, while surfing e-bay, I came across a sale for Rogue speaker cable. It looked like quality built wire, and made many of the same fabulous claims that many speaker cable manufacturers make about their wire. So what could I lose for $95.00 including shipping, (except $95.00) for a single wire 12 ft pair with quality connectors
After, a few weeks of use, I kept looking for an excuse to come to my senses, and look for better cable; but,the cable kept sounding better. Bass was tight,dynamics were remarkable, and overall tonal quality was way above average for this price. Hard to believe!!
On the negative side, fit and finish are not top of the line, one of the banana plugs does not fit securely Sonically, the cable seems to limit the sound stage to the inside borders of the speakers; stage depth is shallow, giving the impression that the musicians are playing on top of each other.
However, the cable is neither fatiguing nor hard to listen to. It sins are only those of omission. But please note.....As good as it CAN SOUND, this wire is not the magic bullet,or wonder cable we all seek like the holy grail so as NOT to spend thousands of bucks on highly touted major speaker cables brands.
Therefore, I am curious if anyone out there has tried the Rogue speaker cable,and come away with a few similar impressions, or should I schedule an appointment for an ear wash!!!
