Canare 4S11

I am taking delivery tomorrow of a 15 foot pair of Canare 4S11 cables which I will incorporate into my secondary system.  I do not expect much from them as I only paid $106.00 for the 15 foot pair with locking bananas on both ends from Ram Electronics.  I am putting these cables up against my Groneberg Quattro Reference cables that go for $25.00 a foot plus termination.  I am hoping for the best but am not expecting too much.  We shall see.  I will report on what I hear after the 200hr break in as that is what I am being told it takes to break them in.

@stereo5...I'm so glad you put in the time and effort on these! 

I've been touting this cable for years and years on here, but never had any luck because most people think because they are so inexpensive and/or require a long break-in period, they can't be any good.

Over the years, I've become friends with a couple of guys from Canare.  Even they don't know why they take so long to break-in, but if you're willing to put the time on them, they are richly rewarding.

I run mine in a shot-gun configuration and they are even better.  See this thread about how I do it.

Your posts, years ago, helped shape my decision to use the 4S11 and I have never looked back. I use a double barrel shotgun configuration and the cables have been put thru cryo process.
