FS: 4 x 3.5m (14m) van den Hul 'The Clearwater' speaker cable £30 collect / £36 del.

[Ripley's Cat]

Evening y'all,

The Ripley's Cat attic clearance continues and tonight's 'special' is 4 lengths of 3.5m van den Hul 'The Clearwater' speaker cable, presently bound together by an army of cable-ties to form a home-made bi-wire configuration. So, 14m total.

Except . . . . bizarrely, two of the lengths are actually 4.5m. I say bizarre, because I bought these from a friend many moons ago, who mumbled something about them being 'about' 3 and a half metres for each bi-wire run. They were taken home, plugged in and embarrassingly, for the next seven years I never noticed any in/unbalance through the two channels - nothing obvious to suggest that one channel was louder than the other. So, not only did I visually fail to notice the difference, but aurally too. Humph. :scratch:

A recent re-jig of cables means that these are now up for grabs.

So, I'll sell them as 3.5m x 4 and you can work out what to do with the extra metre on two of the runs.

Let's aim at about £2 a metre . . . just over if you reckon at 14m, or just under if you're seeing this as a 16m sale . . .

£30 collected (Lincolnshire). Can post for an additional £6.

Again, no rush on these - happy for my scrambled, barmy description to foul this forum until the cables head off to the 'Bay in a couple of days time . . .

Any questions, please ask.

Peace,
Matt

the length doesn't matter. Generally accepted 'speed' of electricity is around 300,000 m/s so to go an extra 2m will take around 0.000007 seconds ..... an incredibly short period of time that there is just no way a human can detect it.

Phew!

I was beginning to doubt my ability to sense these kind of things.

Thanks, Stuart

Doesn't explain though, how I didn't visually notice that two of the cables are 1 metre longer than their brethren. For that, I suspect, there is no defence . . .

Quick final bump before transferring to eBay tomorrow. More than happy to split. So:

2 x 3.5m of single wire runs (7m total): £14 + p&p
2 x 4.5m of single wire runs (9m total): £18 + p&p

Regards,
Matt
