Speaker Cable Suggestions

Walnut,

I can't stress enough to build your own!  http://www.laventure.net/tourist/cables.htm

This is a great read and all I can say is you can build them and you won't be dissatisfied!!! As far as how they stack up to the before mentioned, they beat them hands down!  If you need any help or direction I will gladly help.  Others good luck! 

Buying used is great but there’s no return policy. I agree with the posters who suggest Clear Day, for all of the above reasons...biggest reason , you can demo for free and return them at a nominal cost. There are other cables you can buy and try them out for 30 days, sometimes more. An inexpensive way to sample different cables. Btw, Paul @ clear day is a first class guy. Very honest. Goodluck.

Skip the hype, skip the snake oil, skip the sparkly shiney covering and pick basic wire of the correct impedence/guage from Monoprice or other scam-free manufacturer/distributer.  Then take the money you save and buy some serious music media...or a great set of headphones.  Do your research and don't fall for all the BS out there.

Lamp cord: about as good as Monoprice, which is as good as Blue Jeans, which is as good as Audioquest, which is as good as Kimber, which is as good as Nordost. 

I just recently bought Transparent Audio speakers cables, "The Wave"  I got four 8 foot pairs here on audiogon brand new and on sale and I think they sound great.
