Norm..I have not heard the Exemplar cables but i would put the Cerious Technology cables..especially the speaker and power cords..up against any cables up to $5k for 1/10th the cost....I replaced my CT-1U HF speaker cables and my CT-1 pcs with them..They are that good..
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
I have been listening to excellent sounding Exemplar exception cables for the last several weeks. While my HFCables are better they are also much more expensive than the below $500 cables.
They offer an excellent sound stage, dynamics, and top to bottom quality sound. Not only are they inexpensive but they are very portable and easy to install.

mitch2, the new Duelund stranded and tinned wire makes a better sounding IC than the WE16. I wish Duelund would make a 10 gauge version of it! It is more dynamic, resolving, and extended while still retaining that special musical tone of the WE16. I did not shield the IC's and used the Canare f10 rca connectors per advice I learned from this thread. Total cost of my ICs is some $50 and I know they sound better than $2,000 IC's! |
I am using Furutech
FI-11(Cu) plugs/iecs. The Furutech connectors clamp the wires in a way that allows two wires to be clamped at the same time. The screw that tightens the clamp is located in the middle of the opening for the wires. I believe this allows the use of spades to be tightened by the clamp but it also allows either the strands of a single wire to be split in halves which each half twisted like a forked snake tongue, or for two separate wires to be used. IME, the 10 awg WE wire just fits on each side, so I have used two 10 awg wires per pole, plus two for the ground. Good thing the WE wire is so flexible because terminating that is a bear. Check the link below and scroll down to see the picture of the back of the plug, where the wires go in. All of their models terminate similarly. http://www.furutech.com/technology/ I liked the idea of using two 10 awg wires per pole for my two big amplifiers, and I made a similar cord to power my Isoclean conditioner that powers all my front-end digital stuff. From the conditioner to the individual digital gear (i.e., server, dac, power supply, etc.), and for preamps, the twisted pair of 10 awg wires is plenty big. |
