Has anyone tried out new Mapleshade speaker wires

I have a friend that is using their speaker wires and he is very happy with them. I think they are decent wires for the money, however they seem to fall short in that last 10% of "Magic" us Audiofools seem to constantly be seeking.

Example, the Soundstage is there but not really vast or deep, imaging is decent but has some smearing. Also, they seem to lack a little slam and dynamics. At least for me.

They seem to be somewhat similar to the Speltz Anti-cables...at least from the info provided on the website.

However, the Mapleshade wire is silver plated copper. For some reason I was under the impression that plating copper with silver was for oxidation protection and not that great for sonics...but I don't know that to be true for myself.

Has anyone ever listened to any Mapleshade cables? Curious.

I have a pair of their most basic speaker cable ($85), and they are the best I have used in my system. I have had them for about 3 years now, and I will think long and hard before I replace them. The soundstage I get is very deep, and imaging is great. They are also very fast and uncluttered, compared to conventional thick, more complex cable. I will either step up to their top of the line speaker cable, or move over to Silent Audio speaker cable.

I too have the basic Mapleshade Double Helix cables and am also thrilled with them. I've had them for about a year, and in my system now exclusively for several months. They are very fast, clean, energetic, and very punchy and defined with the strongest deep bass I have heard on my system. The richness of the music makes me smile. The soundstage is a bit less than before, but I think its because the instruments all sound more focused.
The cables might not match well with bright systems, but the high end is very clean and articulate. Pierre says there is no breakin, but I've noticed some mellowing of cables with time (good for my system).
