Mapleshade "CLEARVIEW DOUBLE HELIX" speaker cables

Yeah, Pierre Sprey tends to get a tad hyperbolic in his claims, but I've used his speaker cables, ICs, power cords and tweaks and have been constantly amazed by them. I replaced biwired Kimber 8TC with single strands of Double Helix and the iumprovement in clarity, dynamics and musicality (however you define that) was pretty awesome. My system uses CJ Premier l2s into Gallo Reference Ultimates (I subsequently rewired the Ultimates with Mapleshade wire). Bottom line: you can try them on a moneyback basis. All it costs is the shipping. Good luck, whatever you decide.

Call Bob Kirk at Archive Audio at 614-237-5699. He has them and can give you some good input.

I have Maggie 1.6's & an Audiomat Arpege. The Mapleshades are the best sounding interconnect I've heard on my system. I resisted getting them for over a year because they look cheap and are very delicate. However, the sound consistently announces itself as superior. Enjoy. Brian

From what i can tell, these cables simply look like a smaller gauge solid core enameled copper arranged in a twisted pair. Is this correct ?

If it is, i would expect it to have excellent clarity and speed. Midrange should be quite lucid and liqid with smooth treble response that lacks glare or grain. The bass would be very quick and completely free of "mud" or "bloat". However, it might lack extreme low end extension and a little bit of overall weight / impact.

I am basing these comments on my past experience with cables of similar constructrion. I've never used the Mapleshade's themselves though, so i may be off in left with this one.... Sean
