Furutech spades on copper cables

Maril555,
The tool comes with a wide range of die sizes and I did find them to be suitable for the Furutech spades I used. I have previously used the larger spades with the two set screws;

but for my most recent application I used the smaller spades, choosing a minimal material approach,

The dies have a hexagonal shape and do not have a center point, like with a hand crimp tool, but the superior pressure provided an exceptionally tight fit. I have not tried the tool with solid core wire although I suspect it will work equally well. The wire I used was;

Mitch2,
So how did the cables come out? Did you compare them to others?

They came out great. I made a bi-wire pair for my monoblock amps so they have four spades at the speaker end and a pair of spades on each amp end. I toyed with the idea of doubling up the bass run but after consideration I thought the symmetry of using the cables the way they were intended and of running the same cables to both LF and MF/HF would be preferrable. They are about 12.5 awg cables but the run is only 4 feet so the gauge is IMO totally adequate. I need to update my system page because of several changes in equipment and cables but haven't had the time. Regarding the sound of the cables, the Furutech reviews pretty well nail it, they deliver a very balanced, smooth, solid, and slightly dynamic sound that does not "wow" you but just seems right over time. I have used a variety of really good cables from Cardas, Purist, Harmonic Tech (excellent speaker cables), and most recently AZ double barrel, and I do not miss any of those. Here are some links:

Not sure why the links posted as shown above since I entered links to the specific associated reviews and product (in the case of the Furutech link), but Dagogo and 6moons both have specific reviews of Furutech cables you should be able to find.
