Sep 10, 2003 12:15 PM | | I have one floor stander that is exposed and I want to dress-up the connection with a nice looking speaker wire. Don't want to spend much and will buy used. I use banana plugs. Thanks... |

| When you shop for cables, take an interior decorator along | skeptic
Sep 11, 2003 8:43 AM | | As long as you get to keep the Revels it's OK. |

Sep 11, 2003 12:10 PM | | If you want something a little nicer looking than lamp cord, Kimber's 4PR is a braided black and brown 4-conductor speaker cable that is attractive in my opinion, and relatively inexpensive ($69 for an 8ft pair from Audio Advisor with a 30-day money-back guarantee). However, that is the price with spade terminations - you will have to call them about banana plugs. I have not used this cable, so am only commenting on its looks. I had a situation similar to yours, and opted for spades on the speaker terminals for appearence because bananas made the cable arch up from the back of the speakers. Good luck. |
| Woven cable covers | Swerd
Sep 12, 2003 7:39 AM | | Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder it is hard for any of us to know what looks good to you. You might look into a way to cover up whatever cable you are now using. Parts Express sells expandable woven sleeving in various colors and sizes. With this stuff you could easily make your own cable covers.

Sep 14, 2003 9:58 AM | | and is affordable and sounds great. there will be a lot of howling here about buying the cheeeepest because it all sounds the same. i am telling you this from EXPERIENCE.
i am not recommending something that will break anybodys bank nor do i have any vested interest. the stuff sounds good and looks good too.
as long as youre buying used, kimber kable 8tc sounds and looks good too if you can get it for cheeeeeeep, thats the way to do it.

Cables usually do sound great, especially when they don't have a sound of their own. No such evidence exists.
b i am telling you this from EXPERIENCE.
But is it reliable? Unbiased? |

Of course not. Who would want to admit being a sucker falling for such a snake oil scam. :) |
