Looking For Seriously Good Cheap/Reasonably Priced Speaker Cable

[Bigman80]

PS, mine are getting better the more I use them. Sounding a bit warmer/smoother than when I first installed them.

Strange Ben. Ive not used mine much but never felt from off there was anything major wrong. did you leave screen floating as everyone else did? I used to use van damme blue in this system before and would say this was, even after a few tunes, better. Keep us posted.

Earlier in this thread I recommended Cable Talk 3.1

I believe I should have been recommending Talk Cable 3, a totally different brand.

Synergy thang.....

TQ ultra worked really well with my Frugels but just didnt gel with the 63S/57S.

As an affordable cable the Fisual is very good indeed.

I have all my TQ cables blue and black gainfully employed in other systems-they are keepers. Mr Wonfor builds some very special hi fi that takes some beating.

The Sad thing is I am no longer with TQ so there product range will and has changed, but the good new is EWA Ltd are doing a new range of cable I designed, which perform IMHO much much better.

Colin,
Had a look at the EWA site the cables look good never mind all the gorgeous amps. Im a big fan of the TQ stuff you designed and as mentioned have kept all the stuff I bought and still use it to great effect.

I read one of the cables you designed for EWA in your own reckoning surpasses the performance of TQ ultra black....I know Gary uses it and rates it as the best by some margin tried in his system. I ran close coupled power amps with TQUB and from my own experience it was something special.

Whats your thoughts on the more budget friendly EWA cables (and a wee steer for me of which one to run between your TQ Claymore and 57s)?

I think the consensus is that the Fisual is either bass light or accurate-it certainly doesn't make it more pronounced. If, like me you use speakers capable of reaching those deep bass notes you will probably appreciate the accuracy but the Fisual may not suit smaller stand mounted speakers.

[Bigman80]

Fisual don't sound light on my system at all. I use mission 780Se on stands. If anything it's very tight bass. No boom. Accurate and taught. Definitely not light or thin.

For an honest, musical, transparent cable at a very good price try DNM. It would be very well suited to a slightly bright/forward system though it was fine with my valve set up.

If your amp can handle it someone was selling a pair of isolda cables on here a week or so back at a very good £200 - but be sure they are perfect and haven't been repaired in any way. The cables are cryogenically treated after being soldered up - later soldering can destroy the sound.

I've now gone back to the TQ Blue I was using before as I just feel happier with it. If anyone want 2 lengths of the fisual to play about with their welcome to mine for the cost of postage. Or free collection of course. Cables are approx 1.5m and 2.5 m and unterminated.

Had it in my system a couple of times with different speakers and found it to be very good.
Maybe not one for someone who takes cable in and out all the time, due to its construction connectors can be quite fragile.
