Van Den Hul Cables

[okiemax]

I have a entry level system consisting of Yamaha RX-V440 reciever with a pair of Paradigm Esprit v3 and a Pioneer DVD-353 player. A couple of weeks ago I decided to look into replacing my "freebie" speaker cables. My local shop recommanded a pair of Van Der Hul Clearwater cables for $4 canadian per foot. Total for the set came to under $30.

The VDH really did make a difference on my system, to my great surprise. Vocals are clearer and more detail. Mid bass seemed a little tighter. I started to think now that if these inexpensive cables can make such a difference, can anyone think of another relatively cheap cable (roughly $10 - $12 canadian per foot) that sound even better than my pair of VDH?

I have tried and liked SignalCable's single run speaker cable, available direct for $69 for a 6ft terminated pair, and Zu Cable's Julian, frequently auctioned new on eBay (8ft terminated pair recently went for $67). If my information is up to date, the money-back guarantee is 30 days on the former and 60 days on the latter. If you are interested in experimenting with different speaker cables, one of these might be a good start. I hope you have fun.

Now that is difficult to comment on. Your preference is just that. Great post.
