speaker cables

[Hugh]

You're welcome Dave.

Incidentally, a good friend of mine is Neotech owner's friend and so I know a little about them.

Does Mr. Pu know everyone, including all the multiple OCC manufacturers in the Far East?

I miss having phở with you, Hugh! When you coming to Brooklyn, again?

Cheers,
Pete

Pete,

I believe so.

According to what I know, there is a very small number of factories that actually manufacture OCC wires so don't be surprised if Brand A and Brand B are both made at the same factory.

Furthermore, unless I want to get into the cable business, even I can't specify to the factory what/how I want my cables to be made for a limited run.

Notice I said Factory and not through US Distributor which in turn has to comply with his/her Brand manufacturer which may or may not has their own factory.

In regard to Pho, we can do it again at RMAF.
We will debut our new speaker, the Seraphim.

Thanks Pete,

Sure you can, as long as you need about 1000 meters I don't see an issue!  

I look forward to checking out your new speaker too!

Wow, That would make a whole boatload of preamps!

Ok So here it is:

The Cabledyne speaker cables are beautifuuly made. Somewhat thinner than I expected and very user friendly.
The SQ was detailed & clean on the hi end, more pronounced bass than I expected but NOT bloated. However the sound was forward, can be a bit too much.

My current cable is MIT MusicHose 750. It was not as clean and detailed but very close. Leaner in the bass but not thin sounding either. The biggie here is that the MIT sounded more relaxed, more condusive to longer listening sessions, lower fatigue.
In the end I returned the Cabledyne, only becuase it wasn't better than my current cable. If I had nothing to compare to I probably would have ended up keeping it. I really wanted it to make an improvement so my search continues but I am doubtful of finding anything.

Exactly, you would not know how good/bad your existing cables are until/unless you can compare them side by side with others.

As far as my own experience is concerned; there are MG Audio, Triode Wire Labs, & Skogrand speaker cables to be considered.

Signal Cable makes a range of excellent cables for reasonable prices.
When I sent them my stereo system information, they suggested their middle of the road cable, and did not push the higher priced Silver Resolution speaker cable.  I am very happy with their products and reliability.

Exactly Hugh. You could use a wire hanger (insulated) as speaker cable and it would sound fine until you do a side by side with another cable. I used Jon Risch's 89249 cross connect for years and loved it, even when putting it up against several well liked branded cables. Then I took advantage of TWL's 30 day trial offer and that bested my old stand-by's (finally).

I've since put those up against some other well ragarded cables and I am definitely keeping the TWL's.

[Hugh]

Good for you Bob.

Furthermore, as long as I've been in this business, there is still new thing to learn as I go along.

Previously, I thought there is only one cable out there that can better my own personal custom made cables, those were XLOs, until my recent experience at CAS in SFO.

[jimbones]

I saw a cable on Agon today selling for nearly $21,000 for an 8 ft pair. Apparently this was a "good" price because new it sold for $36,000!!!!

I second the TWL speaker cables.
They bested some Morrow and Clear day cables I had.
 Give them plenty of time to burn in.
