RE: Speaker Wire Conundrum

Posted by synergisticone969 on December 11, 2016 at 17:16:04:
To all who have offered good advice...

Thank you!...all of the suggestions were good...and I will continue to experiment as time and finances permit...HOWEVER...

I have began by uncoiling the wire, and laying it out along the baseboards, and unless my desire/expectation to hear that which I want is overwhelming my objectivity, I hear a marked improvement in the frequency balance of my system...relatively naturally recorded female voices, (a la folk/Blue Grass), again possess that slight but natural airiness and higher acoustic guitar strings have regained that natural ring, will chase some brass ensemble music next and my ultimate litmus test, horns, (French horns), and if that is right...I will be happy...

I do agree that this wire may not possess that "last degree of detail/air" that I heard with the "Better Cables" speaker Wire, however, I fear that "Better Cables" speaker wire, (only one type sold, which may indicate good quality/demand), may have risen in price so much since I bought it a decade ago, that it is now priced out of my current budget. Anyone know of an equivalent brand/wire?

Peace/Namaste, (and thank you)
T.A.K.
