Biggest Baddest Audio Cables


Whether they actually sound better or not, I don't really care but I have a fetish for beautifully made, anaconda sized audio cables, especially with unusually well made connectors. Any ideas here especially where 2nd hand is a deep discount would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Tbg, contact cleaner is toxic. So are a lot of things around the house. What is the point of the remark?

Teo Audio cable have a HMIS Health rating of 1, meaning it is not typically any threat to your health.

I ask Teo Audio about these cables at CES, I was told no long runs or phono. That rules out all but two cables in my system so I never tried them.
I have followed this thread for a little, I guess I might add a little of my experience in the last 6 months. Tried Virtual Dynamics Revelation 2.0 series (6 gauge) and loved it, and talked with the owner of the company a bit. Then I made some cables with 3/8" rods of copper and a lot of the Virtual Dynamics technology, and am in complete amazement at what I got from it. Absolutely amazing, I will never go back to wire again! (Even managed to get the ends of the rods machined down to 8 awg to make interconnects as well, same result of amazement and tears).

Not worried about the "skin effect" I suppose.

Yeah, they were hard to put into place :)

As to the skin effect, I found that the utilization of magnets, and shielding thereof to manipulate the flux lines, seemed to overcome it to a large degree. I have a lot more linearity than I did before. I don't hear any roll-off in the highs at all, if anything they seem more full-bodied, natural and more present than I have heard before. Every frequency range seems tighter, more controlled, less distorted, but has power and weight to it. I have played a few of the pieces I use for reference recordings with professional orchestras, as well as attend live concerts as often as possible, and I now find that impact in my system. I never expected that, didn't believe it possible really, I just wanted a system that didn't hurt my ears to listen to.

Well, I didn't intend to write so much. Everybody has opinions, I think even a lot of scientific theories are opinions that have some research behind them, and are true although they may not be the whole story, and I just wanted to share a little about what I did with some of mine. Still in utter amazement at what I hear, and if anyone is in the Edmonton area, I invite you to come give a listen!

Happy listening, best regards,
