No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
I'm very happy with them.I got 2x1m and 1x2m cables, each with 8 silver solid core wire, cryo'd, with built in jumpers at the speaker ends, solid sliver spades, and made with silver solder. Each cable is in a teflon sleeve, then litz braided, then...

Not quite. I didn't stick to the rules about gauge for these.And I was on 0 gauge before. :) 
Does any one know a cable that is able to compete with clear day double shotgun?
John (my cable maker) recommended I double up as well, based on amplifier output and speaker impedance. I doubled from 4 strands to 8 on each cable (so sixteen in total to drive one speaker, 8 in the positive and 8 in the negative paths)

I swapped mine out for solid silver cables. Partly to tidy up on the cables in what is a fairly tight space.

I don't have any clearday cables. I tried to buy some but he's not making them anymore.I'm trying to buy some Cabledyne as well. I'm in the US in a few weeks and I was trying to coordinate my order with my trip, but the supplier is away for Chines...

I received my silver cables and interconnects from John yesterday and today I hooked them up. They look well made and well finished. Usually he just covers them with heatshrink, but I asked for additional nylon braid. I think it improves the look ...

I spoke with Paul also and he confirmed that he's not in business anymore.I have a pair of 8 strand solid core solid silver cables on order from this seller: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F372560... 
Best deal on unterminated bulk silver speaker cable for budget audiophiles
I’ve spoken to this guy: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372560920752 and he’s going to make me a pair of 2m, 8 strand solid silver core cables, terminated with silver spades and built in jumpers for a little over £400.Cables are assessed for direction...

Good stuff, thanks for the info. I'll do some tests.

@geoffkait Regarding directionality, while I'm skeptical, I hope I've shown that I'm always willing to experiment and to find out for myself. If I've understood you correctly, all wire is directional and the difference between the "right" way and ...

I’m not trying to be cryptic or trap anyone. An important factor in any good experiment design is to determine what success looks like.I’ve done everything I think I can: dedicated power circuits, decent components, good sources, good speakers, ro...

Neither of those responses really answer my question, other than: we don’t know how it’ll sound.quite the punt then at $1000 from here: https://www.russandrews.com/kimber-12tc-speaker-cable-biwire-kimber-bananas-31909999101/

I’ve EQd the room <1000Hz to within +-3db down to about 8Hz. My mic isn’t accurate above that. I’m waiting on my calibrated mic which I’ll get in March.im using all digital sources ranging from Spotify through flac from HDTracks up to Sacd (Tel...

I’m the UK guy. Geoff’s right, the cable I replaced with the custom 0AWG cables aren’t “high end” (van damme blue). I read the review of them, and it’s not great. I’ve also given my reasons for choosing them.My personal dilemma with this whole thi...
