Against everything that high end cables stand for


I just received a pair of Michael Green speaker cables. 10 ft pairs, $2 ft, totaL cost $40. They are unterminated bare wire and appear to be 3 twisted solid core 20 gauge wires. I spoke with an employee of MGD and he stated that they do not recommend terminations of cables as the spades, and required solder only serve to add more colouration. My impressions from 2 hours of initial listening, is that vs other wires Ive tried, it trounced my Yamamura m4000 and PAD cables in every area except bass definition. I will give them further listening this eve, but MGD has these theories that make logical sense (Tuneable Speaker, Room Treatments, Clamping Components, Racks etc) which to the T so far have resulted in sonic superiority and improvement.

The speaker cable made up of small gauge silver or copper, or silver coated copper, is not exactly new.  Kimber, Audioquest and Morrow have variations of this to great results, as does the above mentioned Clear day.  

Smaller gauge wire removes the skin effect issue as long as they are individually insulated.
So, everything is great about the $40.00 cables EXCEPT bass definition? 

While its true that price isn't always an indicator of performance, a truly great cable shouldn't call attention to itself. Same with phono cartridges. 

Just sayin' ...

OP
Pretty good points all around guys. Remember, never buy anything w/o a proper audition.
..another point about ClearDay......  Paul has been willing to send out to the interested party, a review set of cables without charge to hear if indeed ClearDay works well in the system.  Even if you have no interest in cable, an offer to listen to something else for evaluation is sure tempting.  Remember that all cable sounds different in different systems.  Sometimes inexpensive cable "just works".
