Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience?


I’m currently running some entry Kimber Kable speaker cables and looking at possibly upgrading. In my research I’ve come across some “budget” options on eBay. I assume they’re not great but curious if anyone has any experience with some “no-name” or “budget” cables? 
 

Thoughts on these? 

Thanks!

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!

Supra is the oldest speaker wire manufacturer they offer wonderful discounts on bulk cable if you self terminate you can get $2000 cables for under $200 madisound is the US dealer 

They might not look like the $2,000 cables. But I think DIY should makes you feel good that accomplish something. Took me 2hrs and kids were watching me make them. Hardest part was tubing them. 20220227-164516 20220227-164416

Inexpensive is relative.

I have auditioned and noticed impacts of speaker cables, interconnects and power cables.  

I have Kimber Kables speakers and interconnects and have traded up interconnects in the past.  It may be worth calling them if you are interested in trying another Kimber product.
