I think we all know about expensive "audiophile" quality speaker cable.
Although I don't believe their claims about amazing sounds, those
overly-thick, braided, exotic-looking cables *are* pretty.


Does anyone sell similar cables without a huge pricetag? Not having to
wade through marketing BS about "soundstage" and "holographic
instruments" would be nice too.


Try maplin.co.uk. :-)

You may also find it useful to look at

http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/cables/lscables.html

as it considers choosing such cables without the BS. :-)

It may (or may not) be useful to choose 'thicker' cables for the reasons
outlined on the above page. Depends on your audio system, in particular how
long the cable runs need to be.

Slainte,

Jim
