Nimble cable.

Space constraints are an issue.

I love the look and feel of high quality cable but, in a tight space those garden hoses are not always posible.

Is there a thin and highly flexible wire that is out there and audibly speaking comparable to the big boys? I am asking about power, interconnects, and speaker wire.



P.S. This thread is not meant to be a debate about whether or not wire makes a difference. If you are thinking about posting just to make it one then piss off now.
Sounds good to me...

    Based on my personal use, I was surprised at how flexible the Shunyata Python CX power cord is. MITs Shotgun ICs and speaker cables are unforgiving. Mapleshade ICs are very flexible. Their speaker cables are very thin, but not at all flexible.

    Make some for yourself. DIY is very rewarding.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.
