Belkin AV53001 12Ft 4M Speaker Cable

[Tim]

Saw these on eBay today and knowing that Belkin seemed to be doing some highly regarded cables already, thought I would post this to let folk know who might be interested and also for comments from anyone who may have tried them? Seems a real bargain at just under £18.00 delivered.

• 99.9997% Oxygen-free, PCOCC conductors and high-purity, silver solder joints drastically reduce signal distortion for unrivalled audio clarity
• Size: 2 x 12Ft / 3.7m

Pity it doesn't mention the cable cross sectional area (csa) as they could well be interesting

If they were 2.5mm^2 or more then good news

There are two gauges of this stuff - 14 swg & 16 swg. I got 2 sets of the fatter stuff - one for £15 on Ebay & another for under £4 on Ebuyer!
It's very good and compliments the interconnects very well.

Cheers Chris, at least someone knows what's what Nothing on the listing though so any idea what that stuff is?

[The Grand Wazoo]

It looks just like the photos in the adverts that I bought mine from - but someone else here got the thinner stuff a while back & they looked the same too!
There's a lot of generic photography stemming from the Belkin promotional dept, I reckon - hence all the confusion about the grey & white incterconnects.

I searched around on the Belkin site, but there was nothing more there than has already described in the ebay listing

I just bought the Belkin pure silver phonos form cables and leads uk, £15 and free shipping. Im a happy boy. Thanks to the previous thread contributions i can sleep easy.
Now if i can find the matching speaker leads i can sell of my exotic wires and be quids in
Ta folks.

This seems like the cheapest way of getting the 16 awg version:

This doesn't have the grey plastic braid over it or the bananas, but it'll do the job a treat, I reckon.

The fat stuff is way more expensive now - looks like what I bought from Ebuyer just a few months ago for under four quid is over £100 in some places!

..........but if you hunt around...........

search for Belkin 14 awg & you'll find a very wide range of prices

Thanks Chris. I will keep a look out for some 2m pairs. Probably to late though, it looks like Belkin have pulled out of the market and only make digital cable now.

I bought 2 sets of them as I have 2 sets of speaker posts on my amp and bi-wireable speakers, 90 sets he has sold now, I SAY TO EVERYONE GET SOME NOW

they are tremendous, they even have detachable banana plugs, yes they may be too long for some people but £15 is £15, just as good as frank's interconnect find.
