Speaker Cable Suggestions

**Purist Dealer**
Dragon_Vibe is right.  The noise level is so low with Purist cables that dynamics jump out more than other cables.  There is also a focus and percussive focus to every note that I don't hear with other cables, the blarey/smear goes away with Purist Audio Design.  They are just cleaner, and routinely win cable shootouts.  Good luck with your cable search.  

Love the name calling. Y'all need to drink less coffee!

As for DIY, @williewonka and I just finished an epic DIY cable journey. Mine are still settling in, but the sound so far it's superb in my system. Clean, clear, lots of space, great dynamics, solid bass.. 

Mine cost me ~$200 to make a 6'  biwire pair. Obviously a single run would be cheaper and using no connecters even more so..

how could speaker cable change the noise level???

duh

See Post above. It seems Purist Audio Design cables lower noise, bump up dynamics, eliminate all the blarey smear and increase focus…even percussive focus to every note….EVERY note! I just hafta go to these “cable shootouts” these Purist cables win. I’m sure it would be jaw dropping and eye popping.

You couldn’t make this stuff up. No…wait, yes you could.

It never ceases to amaze me that someone’s system could have so much noise, such stifled dynamics, so little percussive focus and so much of that blarey smear (whatever that is) that a simple pair of speaker cables could make it all go away.

Ahh.....the power of expectation bias.

Randy - if you're interested, @williewonka proposed a mechanism for noise induction into the neutral.. check out his blog or the 'help me build speaker cables' thread here.

I'm in agreement on most super expensive commercial cables.. so much hype to differentiate each brand. Having gone the DIY route, I understand why cables can be hundreds of dollars: high quality, high purity wire isn't cheap. Once we get into cables costing thousands, I don't get it..
