Speaker Cable

[Covenant]

Surprised no one has mentioned Belkin Pure AV. The only problem is that + and - are not marked (at least not on the bit that I have).

Van Damme 2.5mm, or if you don't like the blue jacket, the Fisual 2.5mm ones available on our favourite auction site.

If you'd prefer a "named" cable, the Talk 3 is superb value for money, even taking into account the fact you'd normally buy it via a dealer.

Otherwise, what's wrong with heavy duty mains cable? I mean, it has to deliver far higher voltages and at far higher current potential too - just saying like.....

+1 for the Black Rhodium Twist . Excellent VFM . The Van Damme 2.5mm 0r 4mm are also very good and very well built .

the belkin pre terminated cables are great vfm. The van damme blue likewise. I have black rodium twist winging its way to me to give it a go. The tellurium q stuff is used by a few of the troops and highly rated by many, both blue and black but seems to be quite system dependant.
Ideally try to get a loan of some cables from a dealer or AOS member and try it in your room/set up and as you say- how you like your distortion/colouration.

+1 I'm using 4mm twin and earth made by Pirelli and bought from RS fo 69p per metre. Mind you had to buy 50 metres.

Yes, the Belkin is very good. Have a spare set knocking around too I think.

This has been my longest lasting speaker cable so I'd say it's bloody good, great reputation too.

Rega Quattro is another well priced "no nonsense" cable.
Great sound for much cheapness.

Don't think the Belkin is available in 5m lengths though.......?
