StarQuad Silver Speaker wires 6ft

ben62670

End of roll sale
I have been making a bunch of cables, and I thought I didn't have much left on the spool. So I rolled it out, and had enough for a pair of 6 footers(50feet of cable).
$140 shipped
compare to AQ type 4's in copper at $200;)
These also have low dielectric Teflon insulation.
Sheathed with braided material, and terminated with nanners, and boots.

Ben, are these the same as I won in the Karma only with different brand of nanner's?

Plus I don't understand the 6ft./pr = 50 feet of cable

It's a 6ft. pair from 50ft. of leftovers.

Not important

These are very tempting. I have been procrastinating about a pair of your speaker cables forever. These don't look like the ones in the losers karma though. Looks like a different shielding and ends. The shielding looks green or black on these were the ones in the losers karma looked silver. Am I wrong? Not that it matters I guess but I thought the ones in the karma were sexier.:D Did you use different materials on these?? I know this is completely pointless to thread and I wish you the best of luck on your sale. But I AM going to buy a pair from you eventually and was just wondering if this is what they look like now or if you have options. I assume you have options for the ends but what about the shielding? May be this should have been sent in a PM.:o

Good luck on you sale.

8 6 foot pieces make a 6 foot pair;)

So they don't come as a "quad" you make them that way? That's what I didn't understand. AQ type IV and Canare come in quad configuration underneath the isolation. So you hand braid 4 separate pieces of wire?

Anyways if these are the same as Ben gave away for Karma, these are really nicely done and they sound great. Very open and detailed up top and good solid bass too.

Same identical sheathing. My old Nikon was good. The new one's flash makes dark light. The pair I am selling is the pair you see below. Sheathing, no shielding. I can do nearly any color you want. I have been using these nanners for my own. They make a very solid connection(much better than my AQ's nanners), and the price is right;)

Yep. I have to make them that way. It's a pia, but I feel it's worth it. I use 4 16's which is the equivalent of 2 13's. I don't like to go too high in ga. I feel you lose some of the top, and detail.

Great sounding cables!

Those are the Canare L4E6S Star Quad correct? With the braided shield?

ben62670

Nope these are silver wires hand made star quads

No. But I have a question for you, why would you ask the man on a public forum what he uses in his cables?

MKZ

rival?

ben62670

Nope, its all good. Jake, and I play nice:)

You guys are jumping the gun. If it WERE those cables, I was going to say jump on them because they are rarely used cables and would make a great product. I was not accusing Ben of anything, was just very excited about what he was selling and trying to bump a exceptional cable builder.
