Silver cables - Great price!!

Gents, I am a true fan of Sergui's (aka. NEMO's ) cables. Interlinkhouse.com is his site last time I checked, but now I deal directly with him for custom stuff and don't use his site. Really a decent guy to work with, though I don't think he sells kits. When you get down to brass tacks.. the costs are reasonable given the rca's he uses etc. I believe, as anyone who has a good understanding of particle physics and rheology should, that his really small gauge wires are the way to go. I have checked out homgrown audio cables in the past, and his prices are quite close. If anyone wants his phone # drop me an email at monroemed@aol.com or DFL2000@worldnet.att.net . Even the girlfriend can hear the difference in his IC's, power cords etc.. That makes it a lot easier to get her to accept the price!!! And for those who have written before me....I too have no basis in his company. Try him out,I think you get a refund if you don't like his product, but I don't really know because I've never felt the need to return anything. Enjoy!! Steve

Gallaine, I would be really interested to learn your opinion on both the cables. I found Segui's great for my system, but when comparing high end cables it seems to be a real personal preference issue. I like Dekay's idea but somewhere I was told that you should burn them in on the components that you will be using. Perhaps this is just audiophile myth, I don't really know. Anyone have thoughts on this aspect?

Gallaine..I forgot one thing! You are using Sergui's ETS cables, and I have found these less than impressive. Too bright for my tastes, but a good price when compared to comparable cables. Remeber ETS means something like enter the silver, they are the least expensive of his cable. I started with them, but then I took a chance on his Fineline cross wrapped. Unfortunately the difference is HUGE and immediately noticable!!!!! I say unfortunately because I was hoping the difference would be negligable so I could keep using the inexpensive ones!!! I still have the original ETS's I bought but don't use them on the main system ( about $40,000 worth of stero toys!) Oh well I thought, just picked up ONE MORE expensive habit...just gotta work harder!!!! Enjoy! Steve

Galliane, Just checked home grown's site again. They use 22g wire, similar to the light star audio cables that used to be on audigon. This in my opion is way too big. Remeber the signal you are transmitting is tiny so they wire can be extremely small and still carry the signal. The thin wire does make a big difference, no or minimal skin effect. Think about it, If you used say 00g wire do you think it would better or worsen the sound quality? Considering electrons have mass they probable demonstrate similar properties to the rheological characteristics seen in complex fluid dynamics. This effect makes the bass and treble frequencies travel in different areas of the wire if it's too large. Very thin wires make it much more difficult to allow this to happen. If it sounds crazy, just give the finelines a try. If you are unhappy I'm sure Sergui would take them back and send you a couple ETS cables to replace them. Though if your like me you will probably have a new expensive habit to keep up with!Take care! Steve

Actually I found thin wire to greatly improve my bass response! Crazy isn't it!! I guess the best way to find what you like is to audition various ones out there till you find what YOU like!!!! It's a sickness, don't ya know, this quest for audio perfection!!!!! :-} Later!
