Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience?

Yes, the spelling does inspire confidence - for sure!

I'm just happy they're not counterfeit name-brand cables - yikes.

I bought a preamp and later an amp from Queenway - both sound great; better than expected.  He seems to know what he's doing.  As always, the proof will be in the pudding,

Side gig for a barrel-maker?

Canare 4s11, there not going to sound like $1000 plus cables but they are very nice. I think you can pick them up for $1.50 a foot. I tried some after reading reviews, was very impressed, long breakin. I hooked them up in garage and let them run a few weeks. There so cheap you can buy extra runs and try them running shot gun. A single run comes so you can biwire if you choose, if not just double up wires and do non biwire. 

Used Acoustic Zen Satori.  End.  Set.  Match.

You can buy expensive cables, or make them. Sonically, the expensive might sound 1-2% better. You are really paying for the build and quality of the wire. I just make my own buying OFC wires and stringing them through a pvc tube. They sound great and very heavy duty.

Items Used: 10awg OFC wires $40, Vborg plugs $60, braided sleeving $10, shrink tubing $15

Cheers!
