Most neutral speaker cable for less than $5 a foot

van den Hul clearwater.

try Mapleshade's Golden Parallel cable. $215 for a 30' pair. Their cables do exactly what Mapleshade says they do, particularily better transparency and cleaner bass -- if you don't like them, send them back within 30 days.

I use DH Labs T14 with good results, although I find it a bit light in the bass. Better if you bi-wire with this cable. I've also used this cable: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&PartNumber=100-155&DID=7 in another system, also with very good results. 12 ga oxygen free 100 ft for $42.63... can't beat it.

I would also check out www.elementcable.com. I haven't tried them, but I've heard good things about them.

Extension cord from Home Depot...but whatever you do, don't use the cord with anything else before hooking it to your speakers or it will affect the burn in.

A Hedge trimmer makes the cable sound clipped
A vacuum cleaner makes the cable sound suck (but it can be complementary if you use a tube amp)
A power drill makes the cable sound penetrating

LOL ;-)

Shadorne: what do you use on your $15,000 ATC speakers? I am leaning more toward the "cheap cable do it right anyway" side but always curious to see what people use behind their own doors. You forgot: a thief will make your speaker disappear. Thanks for the laugh anyway!
