Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives?

Better than almost anything out there?

No one can make such a claim without having personally heard almost everything out there in a number of varied systems.

How about better than almost everything you've personally heard in your system. That's a little less hyperbolic.

I am going by my experience, and the heaps of other people's testimony. I can prove to anyone, any "insulated" cord, regardless of cost, will spit.

People owning Scintillas are big on ultra thin silver or copper ribbons. I am going to try one within the week. I found a source that gives me yards of .003" ribbon already coated with urethane, which is what I was going to do anyway.

Audiofeil, I guess you are the authority on everything and we should all listen to you. In any case, please don't hijack my thread into a pissing match. This was supposed to be about alternatives to expensive speaker cables; not the best equipment available in high end audio. Let's come back to earth.

Alan Yun of Silverline Audio is adamant about using only pure copper on his speakers. Everyone seems to have a strong opinion one way or the other.

You don't have to spend top dollar to get top quality sound. A Honda Accord is a better car than is a Mercedes 320 because its more comfortable, quieter, faster, corners better, etc. than the more expensive one. I know because I own both. The object of the game in audio is not to pay the most but to get to the sound. In that regard my or others' systems are very high end because when you close your eyes you are at the concert hall. I am a pro violinist and am at the concert hall most days of the week. I know that by adding additional colorations that may sound "kool" you leave the venue. Sony TV's look great because the color is pushed. One tires of anything not natural.
