Speaker cable recs.?

You say Ponography, I say Phongraphy; let's terminate the whole thing.

Afaik all the chord cables are the same, they just stick extra runs of the cable in. Its all small guage cable so you just get more conductors the more money you pay.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. The RS stuff, Chord Rumour and Chord Odyssey all have 19 strand construction. The largest gauge RS cable is smaller than Chord Rumour, which is smaller than Odyssey.

I said the RS stuff is smaller than Chord up the top, Audio Links sell the bigger stuff. Do you honestly believe it makes £100's difference? Just stick more in, you get the same conductor area in the end or more if you feel its worth it

You said that the RS stuff had fewer strands than the Chord cable, which it doesn't, they both have 19 strand construction. You also said that you believed Chord used small gauge cable but increased the number of runs for the higher priced cable, which they don't.

If you stick several runs of thin cable together, you don't get the same characteristics as a single run of heavier gauge cable.

Ok then, the Audiolinks stuff is the same as one or other of the chord ones. It costs a fk load less than chord, I doubt you'd ever tell the difference and if you pay for chord stuff I still think your daft and have too much money to waste.
