van Damme speaker cables?

[tyke]

I ordered the blue, 2.5mm.
Should be here tomorrow. Will report findings.
Does it need to burn in before giving it's best??

Some may say no and some may say yes. I say no.

So which one did you order??

I ordered the blue 2.5mm to try for now. Will also try the 6.0mm in the hifi range later.
I thought I had replied to this thread yesterday, but can't find my reply??

I have been advised that using 6mm cable instead of a thinner one, 2.5 or 4mm is not necessary, and you won’t hear a jot of difference.
This from a highly respected cable maker from these parts.
I used to be of the opinion that thicker was better (ooh er matron!) until I made the comparison physically.
No difference at all.

well i can say that in the case of the 4mm to 6mm there is a difference,ymmv.im happy to stick with the 6mm

You did ask for that answer ! Surely it depends as well on the length of cable required. 11 metres plus (which I have in NAC A5) and I'd go for the thicker cable, assuming your speaker/amplifier prefers lower capacitance. My ESLs seem to, as did my previous ProAcs.
