Correction, I use two runs of 4S11 on each amp post utilizing both spade and banana input for each post in a 11 gauge form to take advantage of Star Quad geometry for EMI rejection. Shotgun biwire but there is four runs of cable to each 4S11 so not sure if this qualified it as a double shotgun configuration.
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.

At $1.55/foot (Markertek), for a star-quad configuration, 11 awg aggregate conductors (4 @ 14 awg) per polarity, and polyethylene dielectric, 4S11 is certainly a bargain and it would probably take a lot of money to do significantly better. The other bargain SC at barely over $1/foot is the Furez FZ124AS 12-4, which is a quad of 12 awg cables providing an even larger 9 awg aggregate conductor to each polarity. These feature a rope lay construction using both 27 awg and 36 awg, 4-nines, OFC wires, and foamed polyethylene insulation (FPE - which is unusual for budget cables). I am surprised more folks are not trying this one out - let us know what you hear if you do try it. Furez FZ124AS |
