Best Cable Match for: Creek 4330SE + Rega Apollo + Vandersteen 2C
I am with tomcarr on this one, he's right on the money.  I can see that combination to bring some dynamics and clarity in the vandees.if you want analytical on a smaller budget, i would pick canare 4s8 biwire or belden 10 gauge w/jumper, and canar... 
Signal Cable -- High End Generic?
Uh... What's wrong with this?  There are many belden and canare cables that are highly regarded in audiophile parlors.  You make it sound like it's a criminal act to outsource the best wires and connectors to make a finish product.  I don't unders... 
Signal Cable -- High End Generic?
One more vote for signal cable. The guy picks the best cables out there (belden, canare and the like), attaches the best connectors, and wraps it up in nice jackets. As a result, you pay for the best electrical performance and material quality, pl...

Good lord, jaybe, i was just kidding you, and now you tell me my hearing isn't right!  But to be honest with you, i am not surprised at all and i agree with you that they are not that great... i tried to stay polite, but sometimes by trying to do ...

not at all. the 30-day money back guarantee is built-in the price many folds. Some will return, some not. Again, they are not bad cables. They are very good cables. Nothing wrong can be found with their sound.

Yes I can, but no, you do the search. 
interconnects vs speaker cables vs power cords - which make the biggest difference?
speaker placement. 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
The only negative with ref 2 is that you don't get as much bass as with the more expensive by a lot models.  With the more expensive by a lot models and their greater bass extension, you won't need the sub you think you are missing, and the money ...

not so absurd. When you see the claims made on cables, they are about as dishonest as madoff's returns promesses.  Plus, some well-known old timer honest and highly respected cable makers will tell you that you hit zero sonic improvement very soon...

Let's keep it real.  The audio cable makers sell their product like bernie madoff sold his investment securities.

Ok then, you have it: a cryod belden, and i add a couple duracell batteries on top and we are in agreement, $1 per foot belden is good enough! 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
I second this one... There’s not a single audio buyer that do mindlessly throw money at cables. Choosing a cable is very involved - there’s a lot of studying of features and benefits, lots of questions on compatibility with hi-fi components, consu...

MIT audience or synergistic may not be good enough for a comparison against anticable.  A belden speaker cable should be used as a benchmark.  If there's one company that knows about conductivity without a doubt it's belden.

Happy fish swimming down the river loves to jump.  Electrons are just the same.  Why restraining this happy energy in one single strand?

The narrow minded quits reading after the 1st paragraph, shutting down as soon as he/she reads a statement that contradicts his/her unshakeable belief.  The open minded reads through the entire article and challenge the proposition.  Me too, i hav...
