Van Damme 2.5mm Blue Studio Speaker Cable

[southall-1998_mk2]

Been using 2.5mm Blue Studio for a year now. These are great cables and for the money, very hard to fault.

Might think about going up to the larger 4.5mm Blue Studio. If anyone has gone over to the 4.5mm, please share your results. Good/Bad etc.

Thanks.

the 4mm is probably better value for money.

Good cable but try this at 10mm diameter at the fraction of the price. It's now in my systems.

I use short lengths (< 1 metre) of either Van Damme 4.0mm2 or 6.0mm2 speaker cable.

Years ago I looked at using heavy current duty automotive cabling, but could not satisfy myself that the quality of the copper used was sufficiently good.

use both 2.5 mm van damme and 6mm van damme studio , i can`t find a huge difference though . pretty happy with the 2.5mm . since it costs peanuts its no harm to try

Is this the VD blue you have Shane?

If so, I’d be happy with it, was successfully used in some place called “Abbey Road studios” apparently?

Cheap as chips to try the 4mm, in my experience (Had the black series Tour grade) the 4mm stuff gave a bigger more solid foundation to the sound, and I preferred it.

Not tried the blue Studio cable though.

FWIW I've used the 4mm Blue stuff for years. I have no idea whether it's good, bad or indifferent or how much better/worse it is than anything else but it seems to work ok....

I use two lengths of 4mm black per side and I've twisted both cables. Mark Grant made them for me.

Sounds superb but I have been thinking about trying some other types to satisfy my curiosity.
