Mikirob and Grannyring I put a order for the belden. I was told it could take 7 to 10 days to receive them . I am looking forward to trying them. I will post my thoughts when they are run in . Also I laughed when you informed about the Cable company prices on the WE-16 guage wire. Thanks again
Short speaker cable recommendation
Wondering if any one knows of a great speaker cable for really short application. Will be running from balanced Quicksilver V4 monoblocks bi-wired into Vandersteen 5A's. Could be as short as 12 inches. More likely 18".
I have been using Audioquest in the past. Their shortest length for any model appears to be 4 feet.
Any manufacturers offering wires this short? If I need to build them myself, any suggestions? Thanks!

Ok, so I couldn't resist overcomplicating it. Since the wire is tinned anyway, I do not see how soldering a set of pure copper spades to the wire would negatively affect the sound. If anything, soldering the tinned wire may provide a better connection to the underlying copper. I convinced myself it will be much easier dealing with spades than trying to twist all those connected double run wires together...and four wires to each amp binding post. I am going to let them cook for a day and then hear what results. These will be replacing a double run of HT Pro 11+ with hydraulically crimped on Furutech pure copper spades that actually sound great. With the recent changes to my system, I will be (very pleasantly) surprised if the WE wire can make it sound better than it does now. I will let you all know. WE Star Quad Bi-Wire Speaker Cables |
