Belden wire from Blue Jeans Cable?

I don't believe any of their products has any particular sonic characteristics. I have bought many different cables from them and have been happy with all of them. I have had some rather long runs of video to TV and RCA pre-amp to amp and didn't want to spend thousands of dollars. I am not a complete nihilist about cables. I do believe there are subtle differences between cables, I just can't describe them in words. I just know what I like. Blue Jeans cables is a very service oriented company with integrity and great prices. I have saved my money for the source components and speakers, and for more LPs and CDs. If you don't like them, they will take them back. All you have lost is the shipping. I have purchased: component video 7787A (25 ft), sub LV-77S (30 ft), stereo RCA LC-1 (30 ft), Digital audio 1694A (6 ft). Good luck!

I totally agree with the posters above. These cables have no sonic signature.If you don't like the sound..it's more than likely a component in the chain. Cables make a difference but this stuff can get a little over board. The LC-1s,Belden 1505F and Belden 1694A the digital cables are great.

Thanks for your responses. I've never been a big believer in expensive cables. I presently am using basic Monster 14 gage. Recently tried 12 gage Home Depot extention cord and it softened (dulled) everything considerabley. So now I know they can make a difference. Would like to upgrade, but don't want to spend a fortune. Do you think the Belden would be an improvement over the Monster? Or would it be pretty much the same. Any other suggestions for reasonably priced cable would be welcomed as well. Thanks,

Try some magnet wire..it's solid core copper. Plenty of places on the net just google it. I'm not a fan of stranded wire used as speaker wire. Or you could make your own solid core silver speaker wires. Silver foil is another option. CAT5 telephone cables make for some good wires too.

A double run of Kimber 4 VS is very good if your spks. are bi-wireable. Another most excellent/affordable spk. cable is Linn K400. Musical. Goodwin's Audio can make a pr. for a very reasonable price. Highly recommnded.
