Geoff, okay, that's all that matters. What you don't know won't hurt me.
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
A dealer of mine convinced me into buying Analysis Plus speakers cables that I have enjoyed for a few years now. I noticed some other companies making speaker cables for many multiples of $1k and wondered how many truly good companies are making budget speaker cables nowadays? Who are they? What are the prices? I had Blue Jean speaker cables some years back and thought they were as good as the Analysis Plus brand I have now. What is your brand?

douglas_schroeder I cut the ends off a set of cables to "upgrade" to WBT Next Gen Banana plugs (bad mistake). Bryston, I believe, epoxies the banana plugs to ensure no vibrations enter the cavity where the conductor meets the plug. Anyway, I found four 12AWG(measured) conductors are used. Two are twisted for the plus side and two to the negative side. I am not sure who makes the cable for Bryston, but on one site, it was suggested Wireworld does the actual manufacturing. For further info just call 1 800 632 8217 for a Bryston rep. |
I made two pairs for bi-amping my speakers using the instructions from http://image99.net/blog/files/category-002ahelix-speaker-cable.html that I found in another thread. I am pleased with the sound quality improvement. |
In my limited experience, Kimber 4PR offer a good value for the price. I have been using them since 2001 (first on Vandersteen 1Cs, now on Ohm Walsh 2000s). But I cannot really compare them since it has been so long since I tried anything else. I will also be looking to upgrade at some point. My chief candidates are Kimber 12TC, Morrow (not sure which model yet) and Audioquest (again, not sure of which model). But I am in no rush as the 4PR speaker cables seem to be doing a good job. |
