My guess is that Navships is just some guy in his kitchen selling DIY cables to the public. The design is averagely OK, and at a decent price. It’s not going to stand up to the better AQ, or other company cables, but that’s just my opinion.
DIY interconnect just arrived ~~navships~~, true High Fidelity
So i invested $$$$$ ona DIY interconnect a few weeks ago, and it was a failure,,,So thought I'd search ebay, founda Iwoa seller ~~navships~~~ offeringa 16 ga copper/silver coated for under $50,,, just arrived, and wow,,, now the highs not rolled off,,,sound does not break up at high volume, details not heard before,,,comparsion made with basic generic interconnects,,but honestly what I am hearing,,I have no thoughts of looking further.
These are The Interconnects that deliver all I could expect in a cable.
Now i am a believer than Interconnects do make a difference in sonics/resolution.
He offers money back guarantee.
The drum cymbals can be heard and other details of Gatemouth Brown's guitar comes through cleanly. , The over all sound is clean, more separated the fq's. ,,,
If we imagine a rating score of 10,,I'd give navships cables a 10/10.
If you want to send me your high price interconnects and make a shootout, please do,,I'll pay shipping.both ways.

All his ebay items has to do with IC cable's. So if it is military surplus cable,,i have no idea. maybe it is military surplus cable,, who cares where he got this wire from. All I am saying is that, no I have not heard big brand IC's ever in my life,,I was brought up on buying Radio Shak IC's, then moved up to say the $19.99 - $29.99 Best Buy IC's, (figured the $49.99 were just a more fancy package/cable , but better??),,so thats all I know,, What I am hearing in navships IC's, is amzing, I was expecting the same sound as the cheap $50 generics ,,,really, maybea bit more or equal,, I was pleasantly surprised right off, 1st 10 seconds,, after 4 reference cds, 1 song from each,, it was a solid confirmation. I was delighted, as some of the pain of the $350 DIY flop, was resolved by these $45 IC's, = problem resolved, solution found,,and with the 1st pick of the countless IC's out there. Maybe there are superior IC's, for a few bucks more, My mod budget is scheduled for other projects. navsips will be the last IC cable I will ever buy. I think some audiophies chase after all these high tech IC's, as if by some magic , THIS IC will be the one that rasies the bar of fidelity in my system. = Not going to happen. Let me explain what I mean. The IC cable, a transparent one, such as navships, will carry whatever electorns that are comming from the source/amplification. If the electrons are colored, muddy, murky at that source,,, = not even a $$$$$IC Cable will resolve that distortion issue. All this time using the cheap no name brand generic cable,,I thought it was the preamp jadis clone that was at issue,,,the reality was the IC cable was of low quality. Pluged in navships, now all my mods in the 3 components, Sparksolab Descrete Opamps, Mundorf Caps, Takman meatl resistors, Tele tubes, Svetlana 6550s; can not function at their best, . This is why i believe the IC component is critical. It is the pathway which can be colored/distorted, or is it allowing high fidelity to pass through. , A speaker cable is a speaker cable,,,,, a 12 gague copper speaker cable, = all are exactly identical in carry the electrons,, One that costs $$$$$$$ is not going to offer even a miniscule gain over Home Depots $15/50 ft spool of 12 gague THHN stranded wire. |
,,Ok so it was noted that navships is **selling military surplus, nothing much there,,,** so I decided to takea closer look at his listings, as only just glanced the other day,, as i scrooled down, I note a listing of ~~silver plated copper 12 gague stranded~~~, so now for another shootout, HD's 12 gague copper vs navships silver/copper. But 1st I have tio find out if this is real silver,, or just silver colored copper wire. If real silver coating,,how is the price so low?? waiting on John;'s reply. Stay tuned,,,might have to eat words from my post above,,,~~a 12 gague ,,,are all identical in sonic reproduction...~~~ that might not be the truth... |
hi i use the same wire 12 awg #M22759/11-12 black and orange in a HELIX geometry for my speaker cables my speakers cables are 2' long speakers are jbl 4435 and 4425 studio monitors i run mono blocks silver plating on that wire is thick its nice the helix gemetry minmizes noise in the ac line and RFI/EMI on the signal cable |
