Mogami - Quad 12 ga. in the house!

Found an excellent (i.e.. inexpensive) source for Mogami's 3104 speaker cable.  It's arranged as a quad 12 gauge cable, so you could bi-wire or combine to make a 9 gauge cable.

Less than $7 /foot from Markertek.  More expensive from Parts Express.

More when the pants show up.

Interesting.   I am about to buy an entire 500 foot reel of Belden 1313a 10 gauge to run about 200 feet of speaker cable for home theater.  I thought this was the best cable at the price range.  Anyone ever compare the Belden with the Mogami?  
 

anyone need 300 feet of Belden in white jacket?

Yeah, for home theater and with that length go with whatever is cheaper.  Honestly, you’re watching movies more than listening to audio in a HT system so you’re not gonna care about whatever little differences there is in cable differences for audio.  For 2-channel, yes.  For purely HT, I think you’re wasting money on cables.  Just my $0.02 FWIW.

Thanks @erik_squires 

I've been considering new speaker cables. Maybe I'll try these

Actually, I hear things a bit differently.  To me the Canare speaker cables really outshined the Belden, but these were Blue Jean series cables.  Each manufacturer has many lines, so not a universal thing.

Both the 3104 and 3103 are available in bulk from Markertek, but only 3104 by the foot.  :(
