Siltech cable guages i.e. AWG


Hello;

I've been trying to get some information on the gauge of some of the Siltech lineup and haven't been able to find any information. The Siltech website sucks, next to no information on their cables. I sent an e-mail a few days ago but haven't received a response.

It's the speaker cables and power cables I'm most interested in and at this point even seeing an aggregate gauge of the cables including shields would be of help.

I'm interested in the following:

330L
550L
770L
Prince
King

SPX-800
Ruby Hill II
Ruby Mountain II

For power cables the largest gauge cable I'm familiar with is the Kimber PK-10 series which I believe is aggregate 10AWG so I can use that as a reference. Similarly for speaker cables the largest aggregate cable I'm familiar with is the Kimber Monocle XL which might be around 8AWG. So even if people were able to say for example the SPX-800 is roughly the same thickness as the PK-10, or the 770L is about as thick as the Monocle XL that helps me get an idea.

Thanks

Thanks

Whoa, you weren't kidding that the Double Crown was thick.

I forgot about the SPX-800, but you probably don't have any of those either do you, just the Signtaure stuff?
Nope.. Let's hope there's someone who has them (SPX-800) chime in here for you.
Hey guys I have another question. After reading the comments about how the larger gain in sound between the 770L and Prince vs the Prince and King was between the 770L and Prince, if funds permit I'm going to try and aim for the Prince. Even at the shortened lengths I would need i.e. < 2m the King would be to much money.

Were any of you able to do a comparison between the 770i and Princess? If so was the difference as noticeable as it was between the 770L and Prince? Not saying I could afford the Pricness because even the price of the 770i's at the lengths I need are scary enough but I also don't want to be ignorant to the audible differences either.

What prompted me to ask this is the dealer mentioned incremental improvements as one moves from 330i to 550i to 770i and feels I wouldn't be disappointed, or to disappointed :) if in the end I could only swing the 330i's. He said to his ears he had to really concentrate to hear any difference between the 330i and 550i. Between the 330i to 770i the difference became more apparent when the middle model was skipped. Not a huge difference but it was no longer soemthing you had to struggle to hear. That's actually why he only has the 330 and 770 because the 550 would be a harder sell.

So if the improvement is no longer incremental going from 770i to Princess that's something I want to know about.
I am from the Netherlands were Slissssstech is comming from.
Many people who also work in the world of audio don't like the
people of Slisstech. Very arrogant people. In the Netherlands
they lost a big part of the market for better cables. It is not
that popular anymore. I have tested them in the past. I only
liked their digital cables a lot. these days it is easily to
outperform their cables. I did win many shootouts against
Slisstech cables at clients of mine. I never understood why
people are that interested in these Slisssstech cables!
Everyone prefers and hears things differently. For example I don't understand the fascination people have with MIT and Transparent cables. As an example why Transparent's balanced cables cost a lot more than their unbalanced cables. Sure they incldue a 2nd network box but a balanced cable is a balanced cable, it's not like Transparent have somehow reinvented transmission over balanced connections. Regardless people swear by these cables.
