    Default Next level up in speaker cables.

    I use Fisual Hollywood Dark Twist cables, recommended by may on AOS and think they are great value for money. What would you recommend that is a clear step up in quality but is not too expensive as speaker and amp are a considerable distance apart?

    There are few cables that are a true step up for sensible money. The Fisual stuff is superb and I used/use the S-FLEX regularly.

    Only recently have I found a clear improvement but it's not cheap.

    What gauge is you Hollywood?

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    It's my own SPOTFIRE Speaker cable mate. As I say, it's not cheap but it's definitely better.

    Has the same materials as the SPOTFIRE tonearm and Interconnect cables. Just more of it! Lol
