Clear Day Cables Speaker Cables

I know there have been some threads/discussion on Clear Day cables here, but I wanted to write my own opinions since I recently purchased a pair of their double shotgun cables after trying their regular shotgun cables for free.
I am so happy that I took Paul (Laudati, the owner) up on his offer to send me a pair to try for free. Until I heard these cables I had no idea what a huge difference a speaker cable can make. And the prices for his cables are really reasonable as well.
The double shotgun wires simply shine. The depth of the soundstage is amazing. The bass is so clear and defined and also deep and rich. Treble is also clear and detailed without any harshness. The mid-range retains a bit of congestion, but my cables are only a few days old and have only around 40 hours on them. Paul tells me it will take a few weeks for them to relax and open up. Based on my experiences with the standard shotguns, which were already broken in when I got them, I have no doubt this is the case.
As you can tell I am not much of a reviewer, but I hope if nothing else that I have made folks aware of this great speaker cable option. They are so awesome I want to tell everyone I know about them. I'm so glad I found them because of the countless hundreds of dollars spent on other cables that had nowhere near the impact that these have on the sound. Paul sends demo pairs out for free fully knowing that most folks will want to keep them once they have heard them. Not many companies do this. I wonder why?

Tropicaldiver is on point with how good the Clear Day speaker cables are. I fought with another manufacturer's heavy... very expensive... and very good speaker cables until one day I just gave up the fight and bought a pair of Paul's Double Shotguns.

The pleasure of connecting the Clear Day's to the terminals without having to string up the heavy cables to keep them in place was only overshadowed by the realization of how good the Clear Day's were in comparison to cables that cost 6 times what the Clear Day Double Shotguns cost.

That good, huh. As good as expensive silver cables like Neotech and Siltech?

Clear Days are 99.99% silvers. Have not experienced Neotech or Siltech since I do not have a budget for those. But read this thread.

Dave,
I stand corrected. Clear Day cables are .99975% silver and not .99% that I incorrectly mentioned above.

One has to pay attention to cable gauge, length of cable, power output of amp and speaker efficiency when determining single or double runs of Clear Day speaker cables.

I found out that the 16 gauge Tempo Electric speaker cables were fine with my Tonian Labs TL-D1s but they imparted a hooded effect to the highs and fattened the mids and bass, giving it wooly quality when paired with my new Clearwave Duets. They are high purity silver as well.

Going back to my Clear Day single run speaker cables (24 gauge?) was a match made in heaven. I remember trying out both the single and shotgun (double run) of the Clear Days and the shotgun version imparted that same hooded and fattening quality so care needs to be taken as what works for one set up won't necessarily work in another. Both the Tempo Electric and Clear Days are 8' lengths.

Just my two cents worth, for what it's worth, since it only cost me two cents.

All the best,
Nonoise
