VH Audio Chela speaker cable

Posted by Mandarinus (A) on May 1, 2006 at 10:14:21

Chris Venhaus´ Chela wire works very well for me. I now burned it in for 90 hours or so, terminated it with Eichmann bayonets (just crimped, not soldered) and finished with Techflex and some heatshrink at the ends. Looks well, but -- more important -- it beats my previous Linn cable tri-wire setup for the Spendor SP-100´s. Compared to the tri-wire, soundstage is more realistic and there is even more detail. An important difference is that instruments and voices are more upfront, more direct. It seems that the tri-wire added some spaciousness of itself, regardless of the recording. I kind of got used to this spciousness, but the individual character of the recording is more apparent with the Chela. And it is still improving over time...
Also glad that I got rid of the very bulky triwire.

Next challenge: I am now using large-gauge copper kernels (naked) as jumpers to connect each of the sets of 3 binding posts -- but have the feeling this can be bettered. Any suggestions?

Thanks & regards,
Dennis
