Your initial comment is not clear. 5 gauge cable is much "heftier" than 8 gauge and 8 gauge is already pretty adequate for most set-ups!!). The lower the gauge number, the larger is the diameter of the wire. Thicker cables generally have lower resistance, which can be beneficial for high-power and/or long-distance cable runs.
Sonically -Cardas the difference between the CLEAR Loudspeaker cable ,and CLEAR BEYOND
I got a very good deal on the Cardas Clear Beyond XLRs and they are very good , I feel the INTERCONNECT is more important if I had to make a choice between Loudspeaker cable and interconnect coming from your sourse, Thst being said
the Cardas clear beyond has 2 x as many conductors a n 8 gauge vs 5 gauge
has anyone ever compared the CLEAR vs Clear BEYOND Loudspeaker cable .
i can get the CLEAR for 60% off as a demo pair , how much better is the clear beyond on the SPEAKER end since I have their top clear beyond for the interconnects. Thanks much in advance.
