The point I was trying to make is that I would first question the advise of anyone who is reccommending the use bare copper leaders without at least coating with some solder to stop oxidation or suggesting very regular cleaning. I would also question the strategy of trying bargain cables and hoping for great results. The odds of finding one quickly are small. Herman if you can't hear the difference between $40 cables and $4000 cables I have a really nice pair of cables I could sell you for as little as $3000. They may be a good match for your system. I'll rewire my lamp after your check clears.
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.
