RE: Speaker Cables - Which to Buy?

Posted by cawson@onetel.com on March 11, 2017 at 04:51:01:
I agree. There's a lot of rubbish peddled by exotic cable vendors, mostly for their own unwarranted profits, but possibly more to encourage their dealers to sing the praises of grossly and unnecessarily over-priced cables - and other audio accessories for that matter.

I did have some Supra cables years ago, probably their first ones - 2.5 or 4.0 Classic I suspect. They were nicely flexible but I was persuaded to upgrade to Chord Odyssey. I'd always like to see and handle cables before purchase as how they connect to the amp and lay across the floor are important factors. The nearest Supra dealer is about 80 miles away so I'll try to visit when I going in their direction. However I would be prepared to pay a higher price if I can be convinced they'd be better. I don't want to lose any of the potential quality from �25K worth of kit.
