Which inexpensive speaker cables...
My listening room has now become a bedroom / listening room which needs to be baby proof as well. I'm going to have to place my Denon PMA110 in my closet and run long speaker cables. I am on a limited budget as well, think $200 ish. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
Anyone here who tells you their expensive designer cables are wrong and ignore the science of sound. Don't by the snake oil.
The only problem with coat hangers is they're not very pliable. Go getGet ANY cheap OFC at the gauge that matches your run. I use 12 AWG for everything, and even that's overkill.
In the world of audio cables, more money doesn't mean better. In most cases, those actually measure worse. |
get off of the insanity of the cable merry go round. Here is all you need Canare 4S11 Star Quad 14AWG 4-Conductor Speaker Cable $1.60 a foot. Parts Express Angled Locking Stacking Banana Plug $28 Canare L-4E6S Star-Quad Microphone Cable 59 cents a foot Parts Express Locking RCA Connector $20 I have probably $100K invested in hardware.. these cables are all you need.

I have only used Canare L-4ES6 for interconnects, single ended and balanced, for at least 25 years now and even in my high end car audio comp builds from back then. I will have to give the 4S11 or 4S11G a try in our full time RV system as soon as I start building speakers for it and I will likely try the Beldon 5T00UP. Once I am satisfied with the wire to use I will silver solder them directly to the speakers or crossover components of the various builds I test, OB, sealed, ported, etc.... In my personal opinion, based on success in audio comps and 20 years as a tech on very complex electronics, I believe in good cabling at affordable prices is all one really needs. Anything beyond that the price is exponential for little perceived gain but more likely differences, not improvements, to help different pieces of gear suite the sound of the owners preferences as we all are a bit different in how we perceive things.
