Looking to bi-wire my Lsi7's. I'm trying to decide between Signal Cable's product and Canare Star Quad cable. I can get them both for the same price. Which one should I choose or does it even matter?

    Early,
    Both are respectable cables, it'll really come down to audition. If you don't have access to that scenario, try audioreview or something similar and look for re-occuring problems if applicable.

    Call up Frank and order some Signal. Getting ready to order more for the center and the Sub :)

    I would choose SC simply based on Frank's support for the forum, and the discount he gives its members.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Went with the Canare. Had some extra bulk cable laying around and got someone to terminate them with Vampire banana plugs and apply tech flex for $50. I have Frank's interconnects. Next purchase may be the Magic power cord for the amp in my 2-channel setup.
