RE: Speaker Wire Conundrum

Posted by synergisticone969 on December 12, 2016 at 15:16:29:
Dear All Interested:

Well, I learned today that the "Better Cables" speaker wire of roughly 9 years ago was NOT silver plated copper wire, but simply high purity copper wire, with FEP Teflon insulation...as does their current iteration/offering, Blue Truth II Reference, and with a 20% discount and an extra 5 feet thrown in for free to ensure that speaker/audio stack placement would not require a compromise in the foreseeable future, (Better Cables personnel assured me that that extra 5 feet would NOT make a difference, and that with the gauge of wire, (13 gauge bi-wired) 20 ft. would sound fine), I bit the bullet and purchased a pair of 20 ft. bi-wired cables. I will will provide feedback when I install and listen to them...hopefully they will re-instill that last bit of "rightness" in my system...

Peace/Namaste,
T.A.K.
