$10 / foot speaker wire

Cellorover, where did you get the Supra cable? I can't find it.
Thanks Jmslaw, I heard the Red Rose wire and was impressed. And this was at the time I thought solid core wire was the best way to go. I didn't realize it was so cheap.
Driver, if you don't mind, what did you upgrade to? The LAT is a great bargain considering it has the same construction as the $1,188/8ft pair Acoustic Zen cable reviewed in Jan, 2003 Sterophile:
"AZ's construction technique is based on "constant air-twisting", in which multi-gauge groups of conductors are arranged in a constant twist on the outside of air-filled teflon tubing".
Correction, I made some 12 (not 18) gauge twisted pair wire. Hence the sore fingers note as 12 gauge is tough stuff, even in copper.

Wireworld Soltice & Ixos Gamma both well under $10./foot
produce excellent results.

Sean & Wise:

The ones that I use are #274-321, however they look different than the part depicted @ RS online (the plastic cap is a different shape anyway).

I have never seen the ones with the soft plastic strain relief.

I hope now that I will be able to find more of the type that I have been using as they are needed for a few projects. I just gave two of them to the new kitten as "tings" to play with (might be crawling around on my hands & knees looking for them in a few days:-).

There was a few post about the Bullets at AA.One thing I have to say id the Forward to Back of the soundstage is not as good using it as when cables are used without it(OTA).I am going by memory of experiences.

One test recordings I use is an instramental track of The Clashes "Rock the Casbah".In it Joe Strummer says "The Sheik he drove his cadillac" and it is usually so forward it's scary.The following is a background line "Sherif" which is usually way back of the plane of the speakers,which it is.The first line just is not as forward as it usually is.

It is one of the few crits I have of the Eichs,but it is a crit.

I would like to try some Cardas RCA's to compare.

I haven't played with the "bullets" as of yet, but i have looked at them. Ehider had some on some cables that i saw when he visited the Chicago Audio Society last week.

Personally, i think that the idea behind these are a joke. Does anyone actually think that the "single point of contact" offers any advantage over increased surface area / lower series resistance of a larger ground connection ? On top of this, does anybody think that the signal flowing out of that pin-point area of contact on the ground side of the connection is only going to flow through the female RCA jack at the point it makes contact or will the signal make use of all of the contact area on the female RCA ?

Besides all of that, i was told that these connectors are pretty flimsy and are supposedly lacking in ruggedness / reliability. At that price and with the lack of credibitlity behind the idea ( at least in MY mind ), i'll pass on them for now. Sean
