Signal Cable vs Monster Cable - Speaker Cable

louthewiz

Demo: This is actually a preview of a full on review. The cables are not burned in enough to justify a full review, IMO.

I will offer my immediate thoughts, as the change in the sound was quite obvious

Burn in wth?
How in the world can you burn in wiring ,come on give me a break....:rolleyes:

I'll be getting a Signal Cable Magic Power Cord in the mail next week. I've never ventured into the power cord realm before. It should be interesting. After it burns in, I'll be borrowing a wack of power cords from my local shop and have a shoot out. It'll be fun.

Here's a burn in test you can try for yourself. Hook up the cables to your amp and the other ends to your nut sack. See if something doesn't burn in.

Would you recommend a bi-amp configuration?:D

That's what's cool about this hobby, you can choose what to believe and what not to believe. Happy listening!

That is totally ignorant and uncalled for ,
it seems that your reply reflects your stupidity and intelligence and it shows me that you don't know ****...:rolleyes:

LOL! You guys are hilarious! I love this place!

The thing I like about the AudioQuest cables is that they're multi-colored. I happen to like the cables and interconnects that are blue (cause blue is my favorite color) but how does the blue cables compare to the quality of them?

The cables are:
sky coaxial,fiber optic,sub-1,everest,nrg-1

Now dont take in effect that I like blue for my cables, just tell me if those are good cables to have.

Blue is my favorite color also, but my cables are mostly green.:D

Blue is heavenly

Red is devily


Both sound but the electrons dance with hands up or down depending on color, and if Burned in or just Burnt out.

And you know this, how?

I have a dog. His name is Soundstage. He is a specialized working dog trained to listen to music. His focus is primarily on base resonance, transients, holographic imaging, rhythm & pace, visceral impact, presence, transparency, naturalness, midrange purity, atmosphere, depth and finally high-resolution during any reproduction. He is able to pick up the smallest details during his A/B testing. Details much finer than any human could pick up.

Soundstage has also indicated to me that blue cables sound much better than the green ones. Green is just a little too heady for his tastes.;)

Strange, I think that I smell something burning.

I knew I should have picked blue cables. Lucky for me a lot of my lights are blue and I know for sure blue lights sound better.:rolleyes:

Other than your obvious hearing deficiency, you also have no sense of humor.

For the record, one of my dingle berries knows more than you'll ever hope to. :rolleyes:

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Great post!!! I think I see the problem with your dog. His primary focus is wrong as he should be looking at bass resonance.


BTW Wiz, that's what's known as a sense a humor.

I've heard that if you save all your dingleberries and put them in a small mason jar...you get Brilliant Pebbles

You guys are nutty,
and keep my nuts out of it!

You do realize the Sky line of Audioquest cables will set you back thousands and thousands of dollars?

cool pebbles, I would think if someone took a whiz on an electrical fence the burn in would be evident pretty quickly.

Black wires are best, they hold heat making the wire warmer smoothing harsh highs........this should be obvious.

I was able to get four more quads per volt with my Brilliant Pebbles.

Huh....I didn't know how much they was. Thanks Zombie Boy

I didn't know that. Once again RT1 you come to the aide of my ignorance! LOL :cool:

I have a couple of Audioquest interconnects that are covered in red and black fabric (more red than black). I think red is the "coolest" color !!! Really "heats up" the music.

josh_parsons626

Does anybody have any experience with Impact Acoustics? How well do they fare?

Bill Ayotte

Now these are some sexy cables......:D

josh_parsons626

Well what interconnects & speaker cables do most people like here? I like Monster but nobody hardly likes them. Say they're overpriced and overrated. That they're the Bose of speaker cables. I've heard of Blue Jean Cables, AudioQuest, Signal Cables and Cobalt Cables. All of which I dont really know too much about.

You should start cheap and work your way up, until you don't find a positive benefit. That may come early or it may come later, that's something you'll have to figure out on your own. Good luck.

Josh,

Monster more or less cooked their goose here based on company policies about their name, suing folks who had the word Monster in their title. The wire itself is not bad, I still have some of their higher end stuff, it can be overpriced.

You won't go wrong with Signal Cable.

Ask Frank @ Signal Cable to make you the special purple cables! The electrons get really excited by the color purple and you get much more dynamic range :eek:






.......... really, the voices in my oatmeal told me this

Demiurge

I really like the entry level Signal Cables that I picked up from ZB. I definitely think I'll be getting more. Put me in the Cables Matter crowd.

Glad to hear it:)
