Warm copper speaker cables under $500 new

Recommendations for warm cabling almost universally default to Cardas Golden Cross, although I don't believe it's solid core.

I can also recommend Gregg Straley's Reality Cable speaker cable. Have you tried it? I wouldn't characterize it as warm, but neither is it bright. It transmits everything fed to it, but it's free of etch, grain and glare in my system.

It's tough to find "warm" and "detailed" in the same cable. "Warm" tends to also include "reduced detail".

cardas is not warm, period !. i have owned golden cross, golden hex 5 c, hexlink, twin link, and quad link.

i doubt you will find any warm commercially available cable. manufacturers are afraid that customers will object to any loss of "information".

Now, to you Cardas Golden Cross may not be warm, but based on your long,
unsuccessful search for rolled-off, treble-reduced CD players, amplifiers and
speakers, I would question the applicability of your opinion as a baseline for
the majority of Audiogon members.

However, your opinion may be just the ticket for the OP, yet you offered no
suggestions or alternatives, so of what value is your contribution?

Having read your submissions over the years, I believe it's safe to say that
your definition of warm as it applies to audio is off the scale compared to
how most readers would define warm if they heard the same cabling in the
same system.

No question about it based on your posts.

I'm sure you agree.

Tvad....well put.
