I would message Chris Van Haus at VH Audio and see what he can build for you. He carries many brands of cables and bulk wire with high end terminations. He will custom build. I have bought a few custom cables from him; he has always been honest with me as to what it will sound like.

Wow! That takes me back. Still using Type 4 on one of my systems. I have a 30-year+ history with Audioquest as a (semi-retired) dealer. I remember a demo a l-o-n-g time ago of the $1/ft Type 2 against a large, multi-stranded cable we were selling at the time costing many times more per feet. You guessed it. The Type 2 sounded better. We become "solid core" believers on the spot, and became an AQ dealer. 30+ years later we till use AQ internally in our performance mods. Rocket 44 is our 'go to' cable for most speaker upgrades. It sounds like you've had good experiences with the AQ cables you mentioned. Today's market has many legitimate offerings, and I'm sure there are some strong "bang for the buck" options for you out there. But, I'd certainly give the newer AQ offerings a look before pulling the trigger. |
Trying some Duelund DCA cable might change your mind on the merits of solid core. There is good reason many use it as internal speaker wire. Run the stuff bare and it will complete with far costlier alternatives. I am convinced there is something to the waxed cotton insulation that makes this cable outperform most others, solid core or otherwise. |
Albedo Silver cables are absolutely fantastic from their entry level Blue Cable on up. https://albedo-silver.com |
