Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable

"" Solution: small diameter solid core strands, individually insulated, twisted, within exterior jacket "  I know a couple of electrical engineers that tried this and seemed pleased with results. Problem is with real life practical solutions there is no fancy set of $$$ name tags you can spout to prove your golden ear critical listening creds with. You were seeking an answer and these guys are seeking peer reviews and accolades.

  It's a funny world. I have people stop in to listen to what I am doing lately pretty often and there are some who look at my 12g zip cord and tell me fancy cables would work better. OK I say, bring your fancy cables here and lets have a listen. They come back but somehow the cables never come with them.

I enjoyed Canare 4S11 in my system for years. Then I decided to pull out my old Goertz Alpha Core MI-2 Veracity speaker cables. As a long term Canare user I can tell you the Alpha Core improved the sonics across the board. A search here on Alpha Core will attest to their performance. They cost in the $150-$300 range new, now sold by the Cable Company.

The only thing to be aware of is that they are such low inductance that they have been known to, in rare cases, cause some amps to oscillate, and back in the day were sold with a simple Zobel network to prevent it.

Kimber 8TC is an undisputed "great cable, excellent value" proposition.

Ozzy, as the only guy I’ve heard that didn’t like Fidelium, you’ve got me intrigued to really give Cerious a go.

@simao I have a pair of Duelund 12 gage you can borrow to see if you like them.  I have a pair of Harmonic Tech Pro 9's due to arrive next Thursday... so anytime after they arrive is fine.  Let me know.

BTW, they are not for sale.  I use them in both of my systems and find them to be a tremendous value.
