$10 / foot speaker wire


I'm looking for decent speaker wire for about $10/ft. I've ruled out Analysis Plus (tizzy, Kimer (bright), Goertz and braided high capacitance designs. Looking at:
* DH Labs Q10
* Mapleshade clearview golden double helix.
* Audioquest Type 6 from Audio Advisor.
* Luminous Audio Technology (LAT) spiral wrapped 18 gauge.

Are any of these any good for transparent, neutral sound? Is there something better?

Thanks

Audioquest Slate is somewhat smoother than Type 6 which is also very nice. Audio Atlanta was offering older stock for $6/ft. Good deal.
Lokk up my threads on DIY 6awg speaker wire form Home Depot or Lowes at $.28 per foot I compared it to AZ Holograms, Shunyata and Audience and found it matched them.

Or email me.
I'm still reading and learning on the subject, but found this from the empirical audio site (thanks, audioengr):

"Cables that connect power amplifiers to loudspeakers are in a low-impedance environment. Amplifier ouput impedances are on the order of .2 ohms for solid-state and 3 ohms for some tube amplifiers. Most speaker impedances vary
significantly, deviating from their published impedance by as much as 30 ohms.

Typical numbers are 3-4 ohms at low-frequencies and 30-50 ohms at midrange and tweeter frequencies. Speaker cables transfer power to the speakers and the currents can be high at times, approaching 20 or 30 amperes in some systems.
The requirement for power transfer means that the resistance and inductance must be low, similar to AC power transmission systems. Capacitance is of less concern since the drivers are very low impedance."

I only note that because of your posted concern about speaker cable capacitance, you may have already considered the above.

All that being said, several recording studios I've worked in recently have gone to the same cable for their control room monitoring needs - Canare star quad 4s11. Far less expensive than $10/foot, don't know if that would be something you'd want to consider or not.
Try to get your hands on ZU Wax or IBIS or Verastarr Ultra Reference, you will be pleasantly surprised, Excellent detail, solid soundstage, deep extended bass, tranparency above all else. Both offer a money back guaranty if not totaly satisfied, both offer excellent customer service. You can't lose. Happy listening.
