DH Lab Q-10's. Nothing in that price range that I've heard touches them. They are an astounding value for the price. I use them in both my sytems (work and home). One is SET and one is SS. They fit in brilliantly in both systems and held up as winners in comparisons to much more pricey cables. I used to have Kimber 4TC's at home and they never really excited me much. Like the Kimbers, the Q-10's should be easy to sell if you don't like them, but I'd bet you'll decide to keep them! They are internally biwireable. I think they each have a pair of 14gauge and a pair of 12 gauge wires in them, if I'm not mistaken. If you buy new cables make sure to burn them in for at least 200-300 hours before making any final judgements about them, especially if they have silver content as the Q-10's do (just hook up a tuner and leave the radio playing for the week if you can). Regarding bi-wiring - it is a debatable point. The only real way to determine for yourself is to try it yourself in your system, in your room, with your ears. I don't think the separated cables (shotgun) would necessarily make a difference unless the wires were not insulated. I have heard opinions that braided wire is inferior when compared to the same wire laid down as straight runs bundled together. But like everything you will read here, it is all heresay. I've read some pretty absurd theories here on the internet, laid down with great conviction. Bottom line: Try it yourself to determine what actually works for you. Good luck on your quest, and congrats on working out your system (previous thread)!
