REL Subwoofer Cable Upgrade?

Hey Art Thanks for asking that question. Its one I had for awhile. I have a Rel B3 and found cutting the stock cord to the same length of my speaker cables (10ft) made a tremendous difference. I still use the stock cable but after upgrading IC's and PC's I found that they change the sound (so far all for the better) so I would think a cable in the $1-200 range would help. As far as a $700-up would be better but not by as much of the $$ spent. If possible try to get someone to demo a cable for you. Also remember rule #1 let your EARS be the judge and jury not reviews or specs (everyone has different expectations although some are better than others).

Signal cable makes one and I have this one. It's definitely a step up, but I have not heard the Synergistic Research cable or any others.

I believe it cost just over $200 for a 12' cable.

"Upgrading the stock cable between amp and a REL sub is a TOTAL waste of money."

Not true, at least for me. I had a custom high grade cable constructed by Savant Audio for my Rega Vulcan (REL based) and it did make a difference. Bass is more forceful and powerful. The difference is not night and day, but it is there.

Check out an MIT offering and let us know.

No offense, but put simply...those that think it is a waste of money without trying themselves, don't actually know, since they don't have one to compare with.

I am wondering if shortening the 35ft stock cables would also help. Most people buying after market cables are buying just enough, not 35 feet for a rear installation. Cutting the stock cable makes it hard to sell later. Might just as well buy a better one.
