I hope the moderator doesnt move this to the cables forum... I am wanting to keep this Maggie specific. I have been looking at different cable options. It seems the Kimber 8TC keeps popping up for a favorite for the Magnepan speakers. I personally am using a high current solid state amp with 3.6s. Historically I have been using audio research litz cables which I felt worked nicely with my setup but I now need 12ft cables and my litz cables are 4ft. Does anybody here also run the 8TC or do you have a different recommendation for your magnepans? Would love to hear what you have to say. Thanks for your time Jim My Pronouns are: Conservative, Patriot and Two Turntables |

The best I've heard Maggies was at Sea Cliff where Harry used Nordost Valhalla. :) |

Why is solid copper wire bad for high frequencies? |

Dave, What are the draw backs of using stranded copper speaker cables? |
RE: RIbbons for ribbons, posted on February 6, 2016 at 15:09:21 | |
Compared to solid? None. All other things being equal. Dave. |

I've been tempted to try the Spletz cables a few times, watching for a used set. Al |
