Supra ply 3.4 vs classic 6.0


Any experiences? I am thinking about going from ply 3.4 to classic 6.0 since they were recommended by so many Merlin TSM speaker owners, which are also speakers I am using. But is there any difference between these two?

I believe the Ply 3.4 is 12awg and the Classic 6.0 is 9awg.
It looks like your Merlin are 8ohm nominal, going down not lower than 6.5 ohm... An easy load. So you may not benefit from the lower resistance of a mega large wire like the classic 6.0, unless your length requires it.
With the ply 3.4, you have more than adequate awg and you have a lower inductance than the classic because of the cable construction... I would stick with the ply, it looks like it is the better cable, but hey classic 6 is less than $4 a foot, so it may be worth the try, and your sound will possibly change if that’s what you are looking for.
Tele09, if you have no worries throwing money on the cardas, It is a good experience.  If your hifi is on budget, i would not bother with it.  Yes the cardas features a really nice arrangement of wires in that cable, a marvel from a manufacturing standpoint,  but really, can this be audible, if there's no difference in size?
