Best Sound speaker cable for JBL 3 way monitors, Pure Silver ?
Look at the DIY Neotech thread posted recently. Interesting flat OCC copper cables. I use OCC/Teflon cables in main set-up.

Not sure if this helps. I have a set of Clear Day silver cables on a second system. Bare wire, no plugs. They look to be 18 gauge. They took a long time to burn in and initially were worse than copper Romex. Now they are great with detail and air.

What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
Got to admit the worst is the GeoffK phone call. At least it was only $60. 
What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
Some guy makes a parabolic-style reflector from thin laths of wood. It sits behind the speakers. It works much like cupping your ears. Not bad until you hear the price. $30,000+.

I heard PWB demos back in the 80s. They work. Except, they don't. Your brain processes inputs with more quality the second time. Try reading a page from a book you've never read. Twice. So the con is to play music without the tweak and then with t...
