Subwoofer cable
« on: October 11, 2006, 04:58:06 PM »
All,

What's a decent sub cable? Need a max 1.5 metre length. Budget RM500-800.

No Monster cable pls. Was thinking of Van De Hul or Audioquest unless my budget can stretch to Siltech or Transparent Audio. Amp is probably Steg K series. Sub is Focal K2p 27KX.

Sorry I'm a firm believer of cables having heard the differences Transparent Audio made to my Naim/Proac setup compared to cheaper cables.

llsaw,

Should you choose to spend so much on the sub cable, would you also please do a review comparing the expensive cable against say a decent 10AWG power cable? It would be nice for us to know how much diff there is. Thanks in advance!

Master D,

I think I'll rather not do that (post results in this forum) as I'll be opening another can of worms despite wat my ears tell me. As you can see from the responses there are believers and non-believers and there'll always be opinions despite what one person hears. As the famous saying. Opinions are like ***holes. Everyone has one  ;D

i think you have already answered to yourself.
for speaker cables, get the musicwave ultra or
balance musiclink ultra for the interconnects.
sure chun!  ;)

if you are interested in the price, pm me.
