Cables of the past - which still rock?

I always buy used cables, after all they do not wear out and they are already broken in.  It’s a win, win!

It's worth trying duelund 16 or 12ga tinned copper in oiled cotton. They're Western electric wire copies, but supposedly better.  Cheap and really well reviewed... Used by lots of people around these parts (just search) and Jim Smith of "get better sound" fame. People suggest using them without termination, so just buy a length, clean off the oil residue with some alcohol, twist, and connect. I feel no need to change from mine...

Other than the Audience cables the others are pretty ho-hum, nothing to write home about.

Suggest you contact The Cable Company which often has used, older version or other special cables worth looking at.

Technologies in cables is not a slow burner, at least in the past decade, due to one innovation. Other than that, though, not much change at all.

A century plus of same-same.

The room temperature liquid metal cables from Teo audio are literally the newest thing in conduction technology for transmission lines in the past 150+ years.

the difference really is fundamental, as in LCR calculations for wire, but with a room temperature liquid metal, it’s a combination of LCR in one part of the equation re the math to describe it and QED, Quantum Electrodynamics to describe it.

It requires the QED as it is truly a Quantum system, in the true physics sense. Completely unlike the frozen molecular lattice of all other materials used in conductors and dielectrics. The math literally goes to a point of incalculablity, beyond the reach of the theory or any supercomputers.

One can hear it. It’s a totally different beast. Electromagnetically and physically.

The other point is if you’ve never tried a liquid metal cable in a sytem, all you’ve ever heard and used is solidus wire in all things, in all ways. From cradle to grave, for everyone, kinda thing.

So one cannot know a difference as it’s never been experienced or known, at all. Zero exposure, so no stereoscopic parallax view in depth, of what exactly wire is and how intensely it colors the signal.

Oh look, a salesperson
