Wondering if any one knows of a great speaker cable for really short application. Will be running from balanced Quicksilver V4 monoblocks bi-wired into Vandersteen 5A's. Could be as short as 12 inches. More likely 18".
I have been using Audioquest in the past. Their shortest length for any model appears to be 4 feet.
Any manufacturers offering wires this short? If I need to build them myself, any suggestions? Thanks!
Mitch2, I am replacing and have replaced the Jupiter wire you mention as this stuff is much better sounding. Hard to believe...I know.
I would not try to do anything special in terms of doubling up the gauge etc... Until you simply try one run for positive and one for negative. Do this first! I am not sure combining for increased gauge will help or hurt!
All of the positive comments are based on using just one 16ga run for each leg. More is not always better.
Mikirob, the Jupiter caps are special, very special. Not sure about the Arizona caps? Just not sure. I have done MUCH cap rolling and the Jupiters come out on top. I bet Yazaki-San has not even tried them to be honest. If the Arizona caps are cheap enough I will compare.
I will be using the WE16a wire inside my amps also. Not ready for the Arizona cap thing yet as I have to say I seriously doubt the Arizona cap is as good as the Jupiter.
I have Vandersteen 5A's with Ayre electronics. My favorite cable is Wireworld...I know because I had the Gold in my system and compared them against the top Anti-Cables. In truth, the Wireworld had a wonderful sense of ease that the Anti's couldn't deliver, however the tonality, the dynamics, ...all of it sounded EXACTLY the same. If I hadn't tried them both, I would never expect these results. Anti's have a money back guarantee.
Grannyring, I think the Arizona caps are slightly less expensive, for some reason $42.00 sticks in my brain. I'm willing to bet Yazaki-san has tried nearly every decent Cap from NOS to modern.
