In Reply to: The sentence in Paul Seydor's review that really nailed it for me ... posted by Dave Pogue on November 20, 2006 at 09:51:40:
My system seemed agreeable with the shotgun config so I added 4 more lengths of the stuff to handle the LF. It's now bi-wired-shotgun.....and,like the first trial, this hasn't hurt either. Although I may be just hearing an improvement brought about by the removal/replacement of those jumpers at the speaker. Basic rule of thumb in play: if it sounds good, it likely is.
"You know what's really good about this cable? It sounds totally unscrewed around with'."I like the truth in that quote. As a matter of fact, no one has tried to "design the signal" passing to speakers with this wire. It was really just assembled to deliver 110 volts to power tools like an electric chainsaw. Because it sounds this good as a speaker wire, a new perspective is there for me. I suspect it also strips away credibility from some of the higher priced boutique wires being offered.
