Any suggestions on the best options of these three for use on a subwoofer: Audioquest Jaguar, Kimber Hero, Analysis Plus Oval One? I have used the AP Oval One previously and sensed that it has the best bass response. I'm currently using the Jaguar and like it, but it may not be offering as much bass though, for what it's worth, it might enhance the imaging. Kimber may be good, but of course it's unshielded. Experience or thoughts appreciated.

It may depend on the length needed for the application. What length do you require?
Duster, thought I'd share with you and anyone else who reads this the results of experimenting. I was a bit surprised that there can be such an audible difference between cables on subwoofers, but after testing the AP Oval One, KK Hero, AQ Jaguar, and also an AQ Black Mamba that I had lying around, the Jaguar was definitely a step above the others. It added a sense of clarity with soundstaging and imaging that was clearly superior. To me, this raises another question as to why most cable manufacturers seem to relegate subwoofer cables to the budget end of their offerings with only a few offering a higher quality sub cable?
Duster, am going short, just one meter. I'm trying Tidycat's suggestion and testing the AQ Jaguars after using The AP Oval Ones for awhile.
The cossover frequency can make a difference in which cable you would choose.If fairly low,then the "fastest" will yield good results.If a little into the midbass,then use the same cable as the top-end if possible.It will probably blend better and have similar imaging characteristics.

Check out Blue Jeans cable LC 1, I've used it with a sub. Wire is good and not expensive. I was using a 11 ft pair, I still have, but don't use, no more sub for me.
agree.
The LC-1 is fine for a sub. My run was 8 feet, IIRC.
Too much is never enough
