Since you now want brown cables, Blue Jeans cable will make you 15' (5 metre) for $38.50 per cable. The have brown color using Canare cables. Belden does not come in the colors you want. Blue Jeans make excellent quality cables. I can't believe you have not got yourself sorted out be now.

B) Nothing to do with cost, income, not depth of pockets. C) I bought all my no-name XLR cables from eBay and have no regrets. I also purchased my "professional" USB audio interface, which the XLR mentioned above wires connect to, on eBay from the cheapest possible manufacturer: Behringer. D) You have been recommended high-quality, high-value cables above several times (including from BJC). Paying more will not improve the sound E) I am still a major asshole, but at least my joke wasn't meant to be a jerk to you.

H highfigh Seriously, I have no life. Apr 20, 2024 #48 lovinthehd said: Sure, theoretically...practically maybe easier to move the amp and use longer speaker wire...but green speaker wire may be hard to find, too... Click to expand... Long speaker wire runs are the worst way to set up a system- if LoZ is available, placing the amplification is always the best solution, as it's done in large venue sound systems. However, those are using extremely high power and long speaker cable for those speakers increases the cost significantly. Even with the stacks of amplifiers under the stage, the speaker cables can be more than 100' long. However, this system isn't the same and if the amplifiers take up too much space at the front end of the system, there's nothing wrong with placing them farther away. The obsession over color isn't something I understand because long cable runs are usually hidden.

Does anyone have a link to such an item? Price needs to be less than $500 but not $19.99. Thanks in advance. Click to expand... What if the twenty dollar cables are as good as the five hundred dollar cables and you can't hear the difference?

Verdinut Audioholic Spartan Nov 20, 2024 #51 Another firm which assembles good cables at prices cheaper than those made by Blue Jeans is Redco Audio. Redco is located in Munroe, CT. Several years ago, I had some made by this company using Canare wire. They made a wonderful job and the service and price were right. Last edited: Nov 25, 2024

I didn't say it did, but it looks a lot better if wires are not visible all over the place. Seeing no wires is much cooler then seeing wires however expensive and artistic the design. You should know by now that I am a 'total system' designer. That pays massive dividends all round. The sonic, electronic and interior design should be joined at the hip in my view. That is the route to superior design and sonic performance.

The cables were never semi exposed until I introduced streaming. and had to place the preamp a bit away.
