Looking for really fine cables at really low price

I have been listening to excellent sounding Exemplar exception cables for the last several weeks. While my HFCables are better they are also much more expensive than the below $500 cables.

They offer an excellent sound stage, dynamics, and top to bottom quality sound. Not only are they inexpensive but they are very portable and easy to install.

I am not a dealer or investor in this company.

Hi Almarg,
I read your referenced articles. Brilliant as always.

Grannyring, you should write a comment on Jeff Day Blog about your interconnect/digital experience. I believe many of Day's readers will have interest including Yazaki-san. Many kudos to you for pushing this envelope.
Jet, as well.

Thanks to Jetrexpro for being the first to try it! The best IC recipe with the WE16ga is interesting to me. Mine are shielded just like the Belden and thus far I love the results.

Charles,
As always a level-headed, thoughtful post. Like you in my audio journey its not worthwhile to debate what listening objective is right. They are both right. It is personal choice. What is truly remarkable is that the WE16ga to a great degree can satisfy both camps. Best, Rob

The TNT review of the Supra Ply 3.4 speaker cables, includes a discussion on the benefits of tinned wire;
The Ply 3.4 makes use of 192 pure tin plated OFC copper strands in a low inductance design. The advantages of low inductance and tin plating can be summarized as follows: low inductance gives a better transient performance while the tin plating minimises the (in)famous skin-effect by acting as a semi-Litz conductor and minimises also the current jumps over oxidized surfaces of individual wires in the conductor, so to say, such a configuration works with the same advantages of solid-core cables. The tin plating is considered better than the silver plating because copper and tin "melt" together without creating a diodic barrier such as between copper and silver. Moreover the tin plating protects the OFC copper from oxidation.
On another topic, are those of you with Supra cables using the screened (aka, shielded) version? TNT liked the sound of the Supras with the shield connected but, as is often the case, I found a whole bunch of comments saying shielding of speaker cables is basically BS.
