Duster,I ordered 8 feet of each color from Chris just last week. I have a short run from my amp to the speakers I use, JBL L-200t3's. These speakers are quite efficient, in the 94-95 db range. My amp is a RAM modded PS Audio HCA-2.
I had been using several runs of thinner silver wire for each pole to equal 17 gauge. This was successful, imo. And has been in my system for over a year.
I wound the OCC wire into a reasonable tight twist. Maybe 1 and a half twists per inch, stripped the teflon insulation off the ends, and hooked up the hook up wire. I had been considering the advantage of a single solid conductor for some time. The OCC wire was a great excuse.
As shot in the dark experiment, it was an unqualified success. My wife asked if there is such a thing as too clear. What she was hearing was the lack of proper break-in. Now, that they have settled in, I am floored by the increase in information, depth, width, PRAT. The whole shooting match improved.
I have tried the Mapleshade Helix wires. They were good. I have tried Speltz' Anti-cables, but the wire gauge is too thick for my set up. I have fully become a proponent of thin, high quality speaker cable. These simple wires, with just a bit of preperation, are sending me back to listen to things I haven't pulled out of my collection in years.
Let me also say that I use a lot of what Chris sells in my kit. It just seems to work. I can also say that this is true for Winston Ma's First Impression Music equipment and music.
