Cardas GR Biwired to double binding post

Hi All,

Just a quick question. I have a set of Cardas GR biwire cables. I'm changing over to Dynaudio speakers which have two binding post only. Can I use these cables on these speakers. Cables are terminated with spades. I was just thinking of puting both + (high / low) on the postive terminal and the same with the negative cable.

Would this work ok. Presume it would same just the same as a normal run of GR cable.

Your thoughts please.

Cheers
Che

Hello - the biwire cables can be stacked but it is not optimum. Also, depending on the Dynaudio model, you may have trouble stacking the spades if your speakers are a Dynaudio model which have the clear protective covers.

We can facilitate return and retirmination to single wire to Cardas.

Thank you

My experience is stacking sounded better then using one of the biwire sets.

More powerful bass and greater stage size.

This was not cardas wire however.

Simply run one set and put electrical tape over the spades not in use. Then stack and compare the sound. See how both set-up's sound in your system.

Thanks all for your feed back.

The dynaudios are confidence 5 and they have very large binding post so stacking the spades should not be a problem.

My thoughts are much the same as everyones here. IF you stack them they will be getting the full use of the entire wire so it should be the as buying a normal run of the cable. Only weakness I can see would be with the spades them selves?

Tpreaves - Dan of Dedicated Audio is one of the most reputable dealers I have worked with. Suggesting that he is out to take someones money and nothing more is malicious and irresponsible. It sounded to me like he was simply offering the solution of re-termination, which should be seriously considered. This is always done directly with Cardas so the dealer makes zero profit from the transaction.
