Good value for money speaker cables around $200


Hi everyone,

Im currently using Belkin silver pure av cable on my full range floorstanding speakers, and want to try something potentially better. In the $200 range, Ive narrowed it down to Nordost flatlines, AQ rockett 33 or 44, Clear Day shotguns, Morrows sp2, and maybe some Kimber thing. Unfortunately I cant go and listen to these and compare them since where I live theyre not available, so was hoping to hear from folks who have had a chance to compare these different cables either at home or in stores. I shld add that my amp is a ss integrated, and I listen mostly to vinyl on a debut iii at the moment. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciates, especially if you have some or alot of experience w any of these cables, or if theres something worth looking at that Ive missed. Thanks in advance,

I would not bother with Kimber 8tc myself

I doubt they beat the AQ type 4

but I did not hear them on the same system so I am guessing
Mr G- There have been a ton of counterfeit cables coming
out
of China. I wouldn't take a chance, ordering anything from
them. Kimber's 8TC has been around for some time, has been
updated recently, has and still performs beyond more costly
cables. (http://www.scribd.com/doc/2899888/REVIEW-1378) (http://www.head-fi.org/t/586602/kimber-kable-impressions-and-reviews) (http://www.audioholics.com/gadget-reviews/kimber-kable-8tc-speaker-cable) (http://www.audioreview.com/cat/cables/speaker-cables/kimber-kable/8tc/prd_116464_1584crx.aspx)
Gbb. I guess I would get Precision if I wasn't planing on changing speakers any time soon.
I own both types , never heard much difference but my ears are elderly like the rest of me.
Gbb, I have done a comparison of the clear day double shotgun with my Acoustic Zen Satori cables. I thought they were very, very similar to Acoustic Zen cables and I could easily use them in place of the Satori's. I don't think you could go wrong with the clear days.
