Review 1 of 4

Price Paid:  $10.00 from Sound Gallery Gronin

Summary:
When I upgraded my system (listed below) from an all Denon set and Jamo speakers I experienced sharp treble, lack of mid-range and a not so very strong bass, the last piece of equipment added was this Green speaker cable. A very strong cable which brings out everything I missed. Strong bass, decent mid and smooth treble. This is the sound I wanted! Used with: Cyrus 2 + PSX Amp NAD C541i CD Player Vifa Carat (kit) speakers Van den Hul The Source interlink

Strengths:
Price

Weaknesses:
None

Review 2 of 4

Price Paid:  $9.00 from HiFi Studio City Enschede

Summary:
If you are planning to upgrade your installation with better cables, these are the best to start with!

I compared these cables with very thick copper speaker cables, but they are played away with ease.

With these cables you buy a clear and "true" sound for a good price, available for everyone!

Strengths:
Great clarity, Fast and detailed sound, accurate bass

Weaknesses:
stiff piece of wire!

Similar Products Used:
usual "High grade" copper speaker cables

Review 3 of 4

Price Paid:  $4.00

Summary:
First of all ; I can't compare this cable to a 'golden standard cable', but over the years I've heard a lot different of cables.
This cable has a pleasant richness, good dynamics, lush bass combined with smooth top end. Because of this features it seems to me that this cable combines better with high power solid state amplifiers (damping of high slew rates)then with tube amplifiers.
Highly recommended.

Note that the cable should be connected in a way that the printed letters are readable in the direction they signal, so from the amplifier to the loudspeaker.

Used with:
Denon DCD-1520 CD player connected with
Van den Hul D102 MkIII interconnects directly to two
Denon POA-4400 mono-amps on modified
Infinity RS 5000 loudspeakers placed on
Target stands

Strengths:
Laid back, richness and price

Weaknesses:
None for the price

Review 4 of 4

Summary:
This is a great cable for most systems. It gives you great detail and a very solid bass. If you need a great sounding cable for little money, this is one to go for... There are better cables around, but for less than $10 a metre this is a killer.

I used the cable in the following setup :

NAD C320 AMP
NAD 522 cd-player
B&W DM602 speakers
VanDenHul D102III interconnect
(VDH royal jade hybrid speakercable)

Strengths:
Great clarity and detail. Great bass.

Weaknesses:
None for the price

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

AudioREVIEW's Budget Audiophile Holiday Guide

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
