used copper

out of a sudden, i was thinking of speaker cables and also trying to recollect my experiences........

throughout the years, i have a habit of staying put with my choices and usually these cables would hang around with me for years before i decided to upgrade....... changing speaker cables is no fun and usually quite an expensive affair; one could be stuck with a pair that cannot be resold easily......

i bought my first pair in the 80s to use with my mirage m-360 loudspeakers...... it was a pair from esoteric audio bought from kingsley in plaza singapura...... cheap and cheerful was all i can remember about it. shroud in soft black insulation, it was pretty thick by modern standards.......

2nd pair was kimber 4TC (bi-wiring JM Lab Micron and Kinergetics SW, followed by polkaudio LSi-15) - bought from atlas sound

3rd pair was silver sonic T-14 (bi-wiring JM Lab Micron and Kinergetics SW, followed by polkaudio LSi-15) - bought from mail-order and effective audio

4th pair was silver sonic Q-10 in shotgun configuration (bi-wiring polkaudio LSi-15) - bought from effective audio

5th pair is acrolink S-3000 and acrolink S-1010 (bi-wiring polkaudio LSi-15) - bought from x-audio

so far i had no problems with selling kimber kables while the T-14 and Q-10 are still stored in ziplock bags........
