Anybody try doubling different cables?


It seemed logical to me,to try to get the most cable between the amp and speaker for best performance, so have double runs of Clear Day solid silver and Acoustic Zen Double barrel - an effective awg of about 5 or 6? - and they sound spectacular - better than each individually. Interested to hear the experts' opinions or anybody that has tried similar set-ups with copper plus silver of different manufacture and design and resultant increased gauge wire?
Not hard to connect with a combination of spades and bananas on both ends- double spades and one banana per amp side and 4 per side on the biwired speakers.
System: EAR 868 preamp, SOTA 4 turntable, Bel Canto mono 1000 ref amps, SP Tech rev III speakers, Mcintosh MR 67 tuner (better than my ss CDP!!) KCI silkworm +, GG reflection, Cardas GC, Mogami neglex gold ics, Pangea 9 AC SE pcs.
Thanks for your input.

There is no benefit in using mega-thick speaker cable unless you have exceptionally long runs, > 50 ft. A 12 awg cable will be more than sufficient for runs less than 50 ft. Don't over-spend on something that will provide no benefit, use your money more wisely elsewhere...

I tried both Synergistic Research Signature #2 with Dh Labs Q10s sigs on my bass (bottom of my speakers ) since i am bi-amping.
I noticed an improvement in the bass . Stronger and Tighter sound ... to me
I'm currently using both Mundorf's 1.5mm Silver/gold solid-core round wire(teflon insulated) + DIY Mundorf 2.1sqmm copper foils run parallel in single-wire configuration with my waveguide-based Auto-tech Mummy MkII speakers - and it works brilliantly, also better than each wire run individually. The sound with the parallel run of (different) wires, compared to the Silver/gold wires alone, is more focused and vital, sharper, and with a more natural tone and timbre.

A very cheap tweak, I might add, being that my existing wires were the Silver/gold's; a Mundorf CFC14 coil costs a mere $60, with plenty of copper foil for many many feet of speaker cable...
I find the same, Phusis, the sound is incremental adding the silver of the Clear Day to the copper of Acoustic zen. Great harmony, almost like they were made for each other :):)!
Hi,In my opinion, speaker cable jumpers yield the best results in sound for bi-amp speakers,and saves alot of money versus buying a second amp,jumpers are 8" or 10",I have 10" taralabs omega jumpers,these jumpers are not listed on the tara net site,they are made in the u.s.a.,they are being sold in the asian markets like japan,where they have more money than since,LOL,I guess there economy is better?,any way,11 months ago I asked tara what was the best jumper they can make?,they explained how it was made and the science behind it,I asked them to make it and send it to me,I bought it!,those jumpers was the most profound improvement for sound on a pair of speakers I have heard in 25 years!,believe it or not, you lose less sound quality with 10" cable versus 6ft or 8ft,the jumper that I have is almost as big around as the speaker cable I have on my other system,its tara the one speaker cables,thou the jumpers dont have the diamerter that the omega gold speaker cable has,it is helexed in the windings of the conductors just the same as the omega gold speaker cable and with the air tubes as well,pretty much a baby omega gold,kinda costly!,but not out of reach for some audiophiles,they are $800.00 for 10",well worth the price!,I defiantly have no regrets!,the omega gold speaker cable of course is alot bigger around than the jumpers as I already said,so the jumper as good as it is,is in no way in the same ballgame as the speaker cable, $24,000.00 8ft retail versus $800.00 retail jumper,wanted to throw that in,incase their may be people out there that might expect that you are getting the omega gold speaker cable sound in a jumper,In a since you are!,just in a smaller scalled down sound,this jumper enhances the speakers in a unique way,spectacular! happy listening!
