Not yet. I want to get a bit more time with the cables alone first, so I can
have a handle on things before we pop them in. Since I took my already-
broken-in speaker cables over to Jeff's to get him interested, I'm hoping
he'll bring his already-built-up ICs over this weekend for a listen in my rig.
I can build a few sets within an hour if I like what they do.
æNormal is just a setting on my dryer.

for a fresh-off-the-workbench DIY cable to sound that good. I will give it a try this weekend.
The Yard Master Patio Cord (40 feet in length) cost me less than $8 and the DIY speaker cables took me less than 15 minutes to make. They replaced the pure solid silver wires in my system, and up to this day I am still amazed by how cheap but how well they work.
I'm still using the Home Depot 14 gauge outdoor extension cord (first noted by Paul Seydor in The Absolute Sound) as speaker cables despite their practically giveaway price. I imagine the ones from WalMart are equally okay.
I have not tried the HD-14 cables yet, since I didn't think they would work as optimally in Lowther-based system as good silver wires based on prior experience. And, that's exactly what surprised me in this case. They make the slightly steely-sounding AVVT2A3 solid-plates (closeted for years) more musical and listenable, while still working well when my preferred meshplates are in use. I may be just plain lucky that they match well, so given more break-in time I will try them with different amps to see how they fair. Hey, I will have nothing to lose since they cost almost nothing. A big thank to Jeff for mentioning that in review.
