Morrow SP1 or SP2 cable vs Speltz Anti-Cable?

Knownothing,

Yeah, sorry, the thread's kind of a mess.

To bring some order to it. Bobby Palkovich, owner and designer at Merlin, recommended the 9 gauge, copper speaker wire. Actually, he particularly recommends some flavor of Cardas wire, but that's way beyond my budget. I'd had some Anti-Cable here that was braided into a bi-wire configuration at the factory. Just sold it, since the Bobby P. recommended using his supplied Cardas jumpers and just running the speaks in single-wire mode.

I checked at the Blue Jeans site. They have a Belden cable which is almost there -- 10 gauge. Almost.

I finally found that a company that advertises quite extensively on Audiogon, called Supra Cables (made in Sweden, of all places) has a cable that fits the bill, and it's "cheap" by audiophile standards. It's called "Classic 6.0." It's 9 gauge, all copper strands, tinned to reduce "skin effect." And it's only $72 for a 3 meter pair, unterminated, from the distributor, sjofnhifi-dot-com, or you can also order it from Madisound. Anyway, Bobby from Merlin said he hadn't heard it but it looked promising, so I'll give it a go. By the way, sjofn sells it direct with a 30-day money back guarantee.

I am so far stumped trying to find 9 gauge, simple, stranded, copper speaker wire.

As helpful as Bobby P. is in the threads, I am completely baffled by his lack of recommendations for alternatives to Cardas speaker cabling. Certainly, he can recommend some brands and models of cabling that fit his requirements.

Rebbi,

Thanks. Will be very interested to hear how you like the Supra cables since I have read great things about them here.

I'd had both Anti Cable and Morrow SP1, the Morrows won, seemed more transparent and a bit more clear in my system.

morrows are on sale right now, 50% off until june 1. i was trying to decide between the two like you and went with the latter instead!
