Ok, stringreen, Shotgun means two separate runs of wire. Over the years the term has been used quite loosely, and I don’t see the need to beat that dead horse. Unless I am not understanding oleschool correctly, he is talking about having a set of cables made that will be a single cable with one set of connections on the speaker end, and split on the amp end with two sets of connections. In that case, it is useless. Now, if he is talking about two separate runs of cable that are connected together at the speaker end only, then I agree with you that it could sound better, however from a practical sense, he could just get the two runs of cable, and stack the connections at the speaker. But I also agree with the comment made to me by a highly respected amplifier designer, just get a better single cable as opposed to splitting the funds for two cables. As always, ymmv.


Stingreen you are correct , i was saying two legs off my amp into one cable then into my adagio . So another question ? If i wS to buy az mid level say 1.5 meter . Then in a yr or so add another set stacked at spkr would that make a real difference. I was wondering only because it would be possible to go that route because of the time involved . Also audio i do think the tara labs are amazing but i can almost get a brand new set mid level  az comperable from mr lee for the same price he is offering az owners great deals .. I have always wanted tara labs but ... Im leaning az new
Purist Audio Design Poseidon cables is my vote.  Warm, lush, sweet top end, highly detailed throughout, with tight/punchy controlled bass.  Very musical.

oleschool, with Mr Lee offering you a good deal and buying those AZ mid level cables, you could just sell them in a year and buy a better pair from him. Used AZ cables usually sell easily. Tara Labs makes great cables, but you must keep in mind system synergy and AZ cables are the best match for your speakers.
