In Reply to: Bottleheader's Favorite Speaker Wires and IC's (DIY or 'store bought')? posted by pureaudio on February 25, 2004 at 12:17:23:

I used to have an old pair of Monster Cables and then tried a pair of Audioquest for speakers and also for IC. On a lark, I built the Jon Risch 89259 Belden Cable design for both the Speaker Cables and the IC's. I Bi-wired the Speaker Cables and used Vampire Lugs on each end. The change was absolutely breath taking. Sound stage, music focus, clarity, and overall detail is now incredible.

I was able to go directly to Belden and as long as I bought 100' at approximately $.75 a foot. The biggest change was in the Speaker Cables altough I did notice a much smoother, more detailed, and less harsh output with the IC.

Having heard these I cannot imagine spending big bucks for other Cables and IC's.
