    There is a hi-fi shop somewhat close to me that I've found on the interbuttz; before I hit just one, I'd like to see if I can hit more than one all at once. I want to audition some cable and make comparison. I can't tell **** with numbers anyway and from what I keep reading, while there could be numbers to back claims, it keeps coming to preference.

    So I'll look for a bang-to-buck ratio.

    I think someone posted two brands of cables in one post on here... Could've been oine of the George's or F1nut... One of them was Bluejean Cables but I can't remember the other... Both seemed reasonable in price (to me, not my wife!).

    So, two prong request: 1) if anyone knows of any other hi-fi shops in the Cincinnati area, please fess up. Maybe we can make a day of comparing cable? 2)I don't remember what page the reasonably priced cable was... but if anyone as any other ideas for pure budget band-for-your-buck cabling, I'd like to look at it. I realize that 'budget' for some of you rich mo-fo's means something different than it does for some of us...

    Blue Jeans, Monoprice.

    I run Audioquest Sidewinders. They're very reasonable in price for what you get. I love them. They pop up from time to time here for VERY cheap. I have 4 pairs of them, i can usually get my local shop to give them to me for $40 a 1m pair if i buy more than one pair at a time.

    You totally missed the point I was making. You drew a comparison earlier to people criticizing expensive gear, just because it was expensive, with those that criticize Emotiva's "affordable" gear, just because it's Emotiva and not an expensive, established brand such as X, Y, or Z.

    If one listens to Emotiva gear, and finds it lacking, and then reports one's findings on an internet forum such as C.P., one is not bashing Emotiva. The person reporting did not like it, when compared to other equipment within that person's experience, and it's as simple as that. Many Emotiva owners (and they seem to be large majority) have difficulty in taking negative evaluations at face value. In their opinion, the person reporting must have some axe to grind, or some other reason that explains this ridiculous (perceived) hatred for Emotiva.

    I don't know if its that. What my perception at PF has been is more blanket recommendations of get a 'real' amp (used if you have to). Usually involving Adcom/Rotel/Parasound/B&K etc... Instead of more sage advice of try it out and use your ears.

    There is another thread here that goes to proving my point.

    I did not see in this case, and never have seen, an example of a cable enthusiast insulting or mocking someone only because they chose not to use a higher performance power cord.

    You have mocked me and many others for not buying into your fuse testing.

    Thanks- I'm looking at Monoprice now. Their 12 gage loudspeaker cabling is super cheap. I might order a couple hundred feet for these prices... Seriously.

    I went to Audioquest's site... Jeebus, you are getting a good deal for your cables... But that's way too rich for my blood right now.

    I think Bluejean's are about as high as I'm able to go, but they are 3 or 4 times as expensive as the monoprice...

    Try Canare Star Quad from Performance Audio........you can thank me later. Mucho better than Monoprice cable. I have bought from Performance Audio on 2 occasions and they do a nice job. The 4S8 is a good compromise on price vs. performance.

    There is a difference between an impression and an assumption. An assumption would indicate a guess based on little to no facts. An impression is based on facts and since you said you didn't know jack, my impression that you don't know jack remains accurate. However, your assumption is clearly without merit.

    :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Here you go again with the assumption's, insinuation's and implication's! How old are you, 16? Grow up.

    The copper in my cables was smelted in the depths of hell by a team of Navy Seals. The terminations are plated with pure gold from The One True Ring, and sheilded with the tears of angels.

    You too can have cables as good as mine. The cost? Only your soul. PM me for details on where to get them...

    I never once said that i didn't beleive in quality cable's making any noticeble difference, i very much beleive that quality cable's are a necessity! I'm only trying to point out that you can get quality cable's and sound WITHOUT breaking the bank :cool: Why do people misinterpret thing's and put word's in other people's mouth/post?

    If you look around the net you can find most, if not all the same cable used to make "high end" cable's and most of it is priced by the foot or meter :) I would prefer to inform myself on what make's any given cable good or better than another cable and use that info to make an informed purchase and make my own cable's instead of buying them pre-made and paying the extra price for assembly/finish ;)

    Being on disability i don't have the disposable income that some have but i do like to have the best that i can afford :o That's why i was asking about the stranding earlier in post 2013 + 2015.... :o

    Below are a few link's that i think carry some pretty good stuff (from what i can tell) in bulk so that you/i/we can make your/our/his own cable's and use the cash saved for some bluray's, vinyl, beer, hooker's, whatever! lol

    http://www.thecableco.com/index.php
    http://www.vhaudio.com/
    http://www.markertek.com/index.asp

    So again can someone please clarify for us the reason behind the different stranding practice's used? I know that basically it is for "skimming" but i would like to know more :o

    Maybe i asked in the wrong place :confused:
    Thanks for the info and this post and your questions are quite valid and I would like too to be provided with some answers however...

    You'll also find by the time you buy all the materials and tools to build your own you'll be at the same cost or more. If you're going to use Techflex you really need a hot knife to do it properly. For the shrink tube a hot air gun works better and look better than anything. Inexpensive units combined will run you about $50, not to mention a good quality wire snipper.

    I have made my own, without the above and they won't win any beauty contests. Here's a link............you can't make these cables cheaper. I'd suggest these and be done with it.

    Valid points and thank you for the link! This:

    really gets me, that sure speaks about the abusive mark-up on those cables!
    sTiLlLeArNiNg wrote: »
    I get it, because i like to save money i am deaf and hear ****?

    So basically you (H9) are saying that anything anyone else has is crap because they didn't pay out the nose for it? That has to be one of the MOST ignorant comment's i have ever heard in my life! lol You have absolutely no idea why a given cable is better or worse than another except for the pricing difference lol The store's must love you!
    I bet you i could make a complete set of speaker, power and IC cable's for the cost of what you paid for a couple cable's and you wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between them :) Mine may even sound better! lol

    Can someone with an open mind and some actual knowledge of cable's please explain a little bit about how the different type's of stranding method's and "gauge blending" affect the sound charecteristic's?

    Thank You

    EDIT: Just so you know "heiney", which by the way is a perfect screen name for you! I have all the necessary tool's to make cable's i just need the part's and a clean workspace :D
    sTiLlLeArNiNg,

    First portion in bold: H9 expressed an opinion and offer your option... What's with the attitude?

    Second portion in bold: The way you are replying, can you say YOU have an open mind?

    Third in bold: Totally uncalled for! If you are really still learning, advice is you shouldn't turn many potential help against you, right?

    sTiLlLeArNiNg, the cable on sale is a godd option when you consider your time spent and all the material you bought. I wouldn't pay 250% for the cable I would definitely consider making it my self knowing I do have the appropriate tools however, if the same cable cost me only 20$ extra than what it could potentially cost me if I make my own, I would then buy since I know my time spent on that cable is definitely worth much more than the extra cost!

    So mums the word on the GDA700 you bought from my brother as well as the Dared Mp5. I've been waiting to hear a little feedback. ;)

    In general having the conductors overlapping at close to a 90 degree angle from one another cancels out EMF/RFI. Seriously, I did a lot of reading a few years ago and I just don't have the info at my finger tips, but it's out there if you have some time to do some digging.

    Makes sense, it somehow deflect the typical induction patern between the inductors... and potentially have an effect on the capacitance also???

    Duell,

    Google "Litz" and that should give you plenty to ponder.

    Here's the Wiki to get you started. This is the principle behind Canare's Stad Quad and other "twisted" type winding patterns

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litz_wire
    Very interesting link with lots of good info however, at the earlier stage of this thread, I was bashed for providing wiki links ;)

    Some I have issue with are the comments that the flowing of current is happening mainly on the top of the conductor(s)... Logic is flow of electrons and protons are happening through the entire conductor therefore can someone elaborate on those comments (flow mainly through the surface of the conductor)?

    Cheers!

    Electrons travel on the surface area, not within the conductor. It's physics.

    This year at RMAF we at MIT Cables demonstrated the difference between "just cable" and high-end networked cable. Specifically, we were using Bruce Brisson's Giant Killer Speaker Cable. During the show I must have done over 100 demos. Not one time did somebody say, "I couldn't hear the difference." Almost everyone said they definitely preferred the networked cables. One person said to me that he could hear a difference, but wasn't sure which he preferred. I thought that was a fair comment. High-end audio is very subjective.

    Duell, in my experience multi strand "twisted" wire seems to sound better than straight multi-strand wire. The Star Quad I use in the office rig is a great sounding cable for not a lot of money. I made them myself (Canare bulk wire). Sound a lot better (smoother, more dynamic) than regular rip cord or M cable of the same gauge or larger.

    I used to have a bunch of links about "twisted pairs" but I can't locate them, a good Google search should yield a lot of info. If I run across anything I'll PM you.

    H9

    P.s. I can set you up with a retailer that sells Canare Star Quad in bulk for the cheapest I've seen it. Shoot me a PM if you're interested. A very inexpensive way to get your ears on it. If I had something else to run in the office rig I'd let you borrow my homemade set to see if you like.

    Brock, Do you know how the Signal Cable Ultra Bi-wire differs (other than being a biwire cable) from the Canare? I had my home made star quads in my 2-channel and when swithing to the Signals it was as if a veil was lifted from my system. Much more open and detailed. I was impressed with the Star Quads to begin with, but the Signals are another step up. (with a higher price tag as well, of course)

    It cracks me up when folks like you pull the, "how old are you" line. A sure sign that the bag is empty.

    It crack's me up to see you continuing to act like a child instead of growing up and being a man! Now THAT is a sign of the "bag" being empty. LOL

    +1 LearningDissability just fell into the giant bag of dicks that is forming around here

    You have something against disabled people? or do you just feel the need to pretend you're cool? For your information i am disabled and i don't take kindly to you insulting me in this manner, but i know you don't care because you are ignorant. TBH as far as i am concerned you are both ignorant and not worth any more of my time. When person's act like this it give's a bad rep for the forum, and it's probably why there is more SPAM posted here than anything....

    In Canada the only time we troll is when we're in the water lookin' for fishies :)

    I will continue to assist anyone in anyway that i possibly can and contribute as much as possible to the forum regardless of the few feeble minded person's that are floating around.

    Again i would like to thank those who have contributed usefull information both in the thread and via PM, it is MUCH appreciated! :D

    I should be getting some cable supplies in a week or two and will post a thread on my "build" as i go along. In order to keep the cost's down and maintain simplicity i decided to use the often reccomended and decently reviewed Canare 4s11 for my first attempt at cable building. I know it is not the greatest cable but it should net me some improvement over the 16g rocketfish i'm currently using :o After i familiarize myself some with cable's and get some extra scratch together i will move up to better cable's and do another build :)

    Cheer's!

    Know what dude? I have tried to tolerate your crap, but in the past two days you have earned the dubious distinction of being the first member to make my ignore list. You bring less than nothing to my experience here at Club Polk, and your insults are completely out of line.

    I have a good news for you Mr."english" and your AvS forum, I have found a couples of physical threats not to me but to other posters. Please forgive my ignorance in computer stuff, I will have my children to teach me how to copy and paste then will have those uncivilized and uncharacteristic threats over here. I've tried do it myself but it did not work. Afterall, I am a caveman.

    When I do not know but as I said : " I have made a promise, I will deliver". Enjoy your football game(s). It will be done as I pronmise. :D

    I noticed something for some time now. All of your posts reference back to krell something, and someone starting a fight something. Something something. I am not sure what it is after reading so many of your posts about so many somethings. One thing I am almost certain of... You are that GEICO GUY!

    One that spotted the Caveman!

    Sorry! the matter is between me and Williams2 and I have said I would drop it. Yes, I have own a Krell product, should I be ashamed of it? Should I keep my mouth shut when some guy over AVS claimed there was no audible differences among amps ( Carver and Krell).

    If you do not know what transpired over the AVS forum ( when a AVS special member threatened a physical fight in 2 different occasions with 2 diffrent visitors) please do not jump in with your nonsense conclusion.

    The only problem is your problem. This is not your AVS forum. You are in a whole different place.

    My conclusion, you are a drama queen. That is my impression of you.

    Hilarious stuff coming from the guy who hasn't made a single contribution or a single friend for that matter. Must really suck to be you.

    The BOZO list grows again.

    That's your opinion and you are entitled to your opinion. I do not run around and bite people. Frankly, my dear, I do not give a damn what you think.

    Look youself in a mirror before criticize some else. I do not believe today is the end of the month yet. :D
