Thank You for the follow up. Are you using a full loom of WyWires?

Happy Listening!

Good to see you here. Belden/Blue Jeans cables are quite popular.
I have not auditioned either brand. I am not familiar with Canare.

Happy Listening!

I concur with Thiel Audio being a well-designed loudspeaker, not requiring an exotic cable,  for performance. The ear/brain,  is the only measurement tool for cable/cord assessment and evaluation. 
Have fun auditioning those new cables with your friend. I would be interested in reading about the brand/model(s) tested.

Happy Listening!

jafant,

Blue Jeans sells two brands of speaker wire: several versions of Belden cable and the Canare 4S11, which is what I use to feed my PowerPoint 1.2 speakers in my HT system. The 4S11 is a "star quad" design with four 14-gauge conductors that can be used for bi-wiring or with the four wires combined into two wires, which is then equivalent to a pair of 11-gauge wires. The 4S11 is good for long runs and can be purchased in bulk, which is what I did. I've heard stories that some cable companies would buy 4S11 in bulk and then dress it up with thick mesh coverings and fancy looking connectors so that it could be sold at dramatically higher prices. I don't know if that story is true, but it sounds like something an unethical cable maker might do.

Thank You for the clarification on Belden/Canare.
I am certain that the Cable manufacturing is no different than Electronics manufacturing involving cutting the proverbial corner(s).
I also believe that any Audio manufacturer should act in a forthcoming manner regarding origins of raw materials (china).

I do ask this pertinent information whenever visiting dealers/retailers.

Happy Listening!
