Entry-level speaker cables

OK, Mtrot. Thanks. The entry level IC's aren't shabby.

Acoustic Zen Satoris are really nice if you are looking used. Nice detail with very good tonality and soundstaging. If you need new I'd look at Grover Huffman or the Canare recommended earlier. Best of luck.

Mogami 3103 terminated with Vampire high copper content spades. Cryo it and burn it in post cryo and it gets even better.

I preferred it to my Kimber 8TC (also cryoed and burned in on the Nordost cooker) and ended up selling the Kimber.

The 8TC retails at $25 ft., the Mogami around $2.75.

The Mogami is mentioned a couple of times at the bottom the page on Salvatore's site linked below:

Based on the $25 per foot calculation, I saved $340 (68%) on my used type 8 pair. Not too shabby.

Always good to buy used-makes sense. However, even at $8 foot for used 8TC it's almost 3X the price of the 3103. And the Kimber Postmaster spades are hideously overpriced IMO.

I bought the Mogami as a bit of a cheap experiment after having excellent results with some of their other cable.

My 8TC was probably 15-20 years old and I can't actually recall what I paid for it-it probably didn't owe me much. When I did sell it after the Mogami outperformed it the net result was I had about an extra $100 in my pocket. I thought that was not too shabby. ;)
