TARA LABS HELIX 8 BIWIRE or something else?

TouchOfEvil

dmc-electronics has the tera labs helix 8 biwire for $5.00 a foot unterminated right now.
I'd like to run my fronts with it to see how it sounds vs the stranded stuff i have right now.
Is this a good price for the wire?
Should i look into a differant wire that would be better/just as good for same or less price?
Thanks for the help guys.

Anybody used this wire before? Just looking for some guidence on this wire vs others...i searched but found very little on this wire on the board.
I found some audioquest type4 for $4.00 a foot
also found some type 8 for $10.00 a foot....
any ideas?

The AQ is really a good cheap cable. I have not used the terra labs.

I would realy like to hear from someone who has tried the TARA LABS HELIX 8 BIWIRE SPEAKER CABLES, and the AQ type 4's. I have the AQ type 4's, and the CV4's. They are both great wires, but the Tara helix 8's look very tempting. The price at $5 a foot in bulk is plenty cheap enough.

I think i'm gonna order some of the tara labs helix 8. I need about 15foot of it to wire up my fronts then based off how it sounds i can go from there.
I seen some type 4 on audiogon and ebay so might try to get some of it as well to compare the two.
I was mainly wanting to try the Tara Labs because it's a solid core and i have not heard any solid core wire yet.

I love solid core wires in the mid grades. I have found the detail to be spot on. The bass to be hard hitting, and the mids to be very pleasent. I would love to hear your thoughts on both wires if you get to try both. I know used AQ's you could most likely recover your purchase if you like the Tara's more.

well i just placed a couple bids here and there on some type4 wire and i'll order some of the tara labs tomorrow after i measure out how much i will need for sure.
Might do the center as well and try out the front three.

Ethier way if i like ethier/both the surrounds won't get it for a while lol. Bedroom would need a total of 47 feet and the living room would need right at 70 feet.

Front stage is the most important. Seeing cash flow has never been excessive here I felt money spent on rears was a waste for me YMMV.
