Re: Advise on speaker cable

[Ho Yin Ng <yahoogroups@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tried it last night compared t&e vs my van der hul speaker cables

t&e works .. obviously and sounds ok, but when compared to the van der
hul=
=20
which are not that expensive the van der hul brings out the detail and=20
fullness that was not present in the t&e cable.

But all in all it depends what you can hear. If you cannot hear the=20
difference the cheaper the better, or if you have extremely long runs
and=20
quality is not of great importance I guess you cannot get cheaper than the=
=20
t&e cable.
