Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit

At CES 2003, 47 Labs introduced the Model 4719 New Speaker Cable

http://www.sakurasystems.com/news.html
" The conductor is a 12mm wide, 0.1mm thick OFC. When converted to a strand of wire, it corresponds to 0.62mm diameter in cross section and 7.64mm diameter in surface area.The surface of the wire was polished then covered with a very thin tubing. Comes with a pair of scissors to cut the end to fit to the connectors of your component."

8 ft/pair $600, 10 ft/pair $750
(add $75 for each extra foot)

Georgia2k--I will read the address you had given,but I would not give out that much $$ for any speaker cable.The only reason I got the OTA was the sweet deal I got on it(below 1/2 the list price)and the feedback from other users.

Might run circles around other speaker cables ,but it is to pricey for myself.If I need anymore cable ,like for my surrounds, I will DIY them to save $$.

I think that my system is starting to breakin again after getting the Cryo treated wire back and the results are becoming more positive BTW.

Something I find of intrest is the speaker's he has designed
because he is using Aluminum cast driver's.My speaker's are of that pedigree and I am having a great ime using them with the OTA cable.

I do not think they could be driven by SET amps ,but they sound like nothing I have ever had and they go down to around 32Hz. before needing support.My new speaker's will go even lower and have the same type of driver technology.

This is the review I found of those speaker's.

Abex:

Check out carolinaaudio.com for similar speakers (same Jordan JX92s drivers, I think).

As I’ve been listening to the 4719 speaker cables for some time, I'll try to put some light on this Junji Kimura's new design. The new cables are 12mm wide, 0.1mm thick OFC ribbons "dressed" in a very thin tubing. You can cut the ends of the cables with scissors to shape them upon the connectors of your amp and speakers. My cables came already prepared for the Gaincard /Konus Essence terminals. The only thing I did was to make them 2mm shorter in order to avoid their contact with the Gaincard's body. The cables are very soft and it's easy to cut them. But they are not as brittle as the OTA cables. With careful handling you can terminate these cables to the amps and speakers many times with no trace of damaging.
IMO, these speaker cables are superior to the OTA in every respect. My concern was how the 4719 will act in the terms of speed (accuracy), rhythm and timing because we all know how the OTA is good in these areas. No, the 4719 don’t fall behind the OTA. I have to say that 4719 kept all attributes of OTA but lifting most of them on a higher degree.
