Speaker Cables for VANDERSTEEN 5 speakers

Hi all ! WOW !! let's see 400 cables at , I dont know , maybe 100 hrs per set for break in....plus " testing " time . Crap , just the break in time is 40,00 hours . 1667 days just to break in the cables ? (is it just me?)

400 cables and all are the same wire with copper/gold/silver and space dust. The model of each company all sound different.

400 cables and one winner? GMAB. I really would like to hear this super,beat out 400 wires, cable. Please send me your digital cable X. Need Spdif 1.5M.

Xyz does have the Def4 so I will not write him off completely.

We tested 400 cables and found 1 winner but for you it could be a complete different cable. Our testing is base on a scoring system and once you get into very expensive, well manufactured cables than the only thing that separates them is emotion; all 6 of us use HiDiamond cables because they portray the emotion of the artist better than other cables in our testing but it is still just an opinion. You might perfer Nordost or JPS or some other manufacturer and I will always respect your opinion.

Hi Bradluke0, Divide that number by 6 because we are a group. The cables need 200 hours plus to be broke in properly but truthfully lots of the cables were purchased used. Our goal was to get past the snake oil and see if there was an advantage to spending serious money on a serious cable. For us we found the most important single thing a great cable could do was convey emotion but we also found that of the 400 plus cables we tested less than 10 cables had the ability to put us in the recording studio with the artist. With most cables we just felt you were moving sideways by sacrificing one thing for another. A truly great cable will take you to whole different level but this will never be accomplished by changing just 1 cable; you need to re-cable the whole system. Again this is just our opinion and I would be interested in hearing your experiences with cables.

Musiczyx,

What preamplifier and amplifier are you running?

What is your source?

Please confirm your speakers.

This will help many of us understand the voicing of your components.

Thank you.
