Cogan Hall speaker cables how good are They?

[Gazjam]

Mayhap a tad esoteric droidy...

whats got you interested over the usual suspects??

[jandl100]

I used to have Cogan Hall speaker cables.

Expensive and American.

A long time ago - 30 years?

Hollow copper tubes, unsheathed with plastic spacers too far apart (within an outer braid) so likely to short if you bend them too much.

Mrs jandl helpfully bent them round the doorway to assist with the hoovering and make them look tidier. :doh:
About a £1000 down the drain. :oops:

Maybe they changed the design since then?

Heard a pair a couple of years back Gaz and impressed. However, I was wondering if they were worth the money.

Mark Grant Hi-fi. Think I may go back to my Van Damme 4mm blue.

These are the best speaker cables that I have ever had in my system.
Well recommended if they are long enough. 2.5m pair.
Send 'em back if you aren't convinced.

I've had my pair for a couple of years, not even bothered to try anything else since I got them.
And I love the extreme hype in the blurb.
SPECIALIST EXTREME HIGH END AMAZING!!!!
Expect amazing dynamics and holographic imaging. Expect pristine and effortless sound reproduction that actually sounds real.
:lol:
But for a change, it's not too far off true imo. :eek:

The listing is no longer there could you PM me the details Jerry? many thanks

They are awful to use, very hard to fit into a system, bend them too much they break. Back in the day I worked for a dealer who stocked them. I think Reference Imports brought them into the UK, if I recall right.

Personally I did not care for the sound, preferring XLO back then, but even if I had trying to fit them into your set up was so difficult as to be almost impossible + the outer sheath made them bulky as well. One best avoided in my opinion.

Steve,
A strong reccy here for Morrow Audio cables.

Best speaker cable I’ve owned.

Ah, OK - they sold the last remaining stock of that batch. I'm sure they'll get more in.

Drop the seller a line and ask.

[montesquieu]

I'm getting great results at the moment with Russian 615 conductor litz cables - even better than the vintage Western Electric I was using.

Silk and cotton insulators/sheath.

I paid quite a bit for my Vivid Audio Flat Silver cables recently but I don't intend to change for a long time. Well worth trying if you can source any.

Decided to just go back to my fave speaker cable. I managed to track down a pair of Kimber 8VS at a very reasonable price. I used these for years with my B&W 801's and often wished i had never parted with them. Still, happy days are here again.:)
