@nonoise,
Yes, you sure are in a SC quandary, LOL. I mean how can you go wrong with 10 gauge OCC stranded silver for the bass?
My Neotech speaker cables are the 9 gauge NES 1002 series which I just found a pair online for 5800, what? I have two pairs of these. I bought them just before Neotech became a true marketing brand instead of being an OEM for several other mainstream cable manufacturers.
People who look at them think I have welding cables or pythons behind the amps, LOL. The Tempo Electric cables, which are significantly smaller in diameter compared to the Neotechs, has me wondering how they would sound, hmmm.
Also, Neotech has plenty of pure silver variants with PTFE options all over the marketplace. Lots of experimentation opportunities for sure.
