When I ordered my double shotguns I asked about bi-wiring and Paul said that these cables sound best with jumpers rather than bi-wiring. He sells these jumpers in either double shotgun or single stranded. He told me the difference between these two is so minor that most people won't ever hear it, so I went with the cheaper single strands. I have heard some folks buy two sets of the double shotguns and run them bi-wire but based on Paul's recommendations not to do this I just went with one run. Paul could have sold me another run because I was prepared to buy two, but he instead chose to give me his honest advice. He is not only a great guy but after one year of using my speaker cables (and two sets of RCA interconnects) I am completely satisfied. I have no desire to upgrade my cables even though I am constantly looking at other components to audition. I've even considered bringing my double shotguns with me to shops where I audition gear because I love them so much.
Clear Day Cables Speaker Cables
I know there have been some threads/discussion on Clear Day cables here, but I wanted to write my own opinions since I recently purchased a pair of their double shotgun cables after trying their regular shotgun cables for free.
I am so happy that I took Paul (Laudati, the owner) up on his offer to send me a pair to try for free. Until I heard these cables I had no idea what a huge difference a speaker cable can make. And the prices for his cables are really reasonable as well.
The double shotgun wires simply shine. The depth of the soundstage is amazing. The bass is so clear and defined and also deep and rich. Treble is also clear and detailed without any harshness. The mid-range retains a bit of congestion, but my cables are only a few days old and have only around 40 hours on them. Paul tells me it will take a few weeks for them to relax and open up. Based on my experiences with the standard shotguns, which were already broken in when I got them, I have no doubt this is the case.
As you can tell I am not much of a reviewer, but I hope if nothing else that I have made folks aware of this great speaker cable option. They are so awesome I want to tell everyone I know about them. I'm so glad I found them because of the countless hundreds of dollars spent on other cables that had nowhere near the impact that these have on the sound. Paul sends demo pairs out for free fully knowing that most folks will want to keep them once they have heard them. Not many companies do this. I wonder why?
