High quality speaker cable in NZ?

Post by MogwaiBoy »

I bought a high quality one years ago but can't remember where I got it from. Where's the place to go these days?

But what if you're looking for some $7 a metre cable and Simon's got some offcuts of some $400 a metre cable he'll do you for $375+gst????

Just buy 240VAC lighting wire, you won't hear the difference anyway. Or get it from Jaycar, where everyone gets a bargain...

There is much truth in this statement.

I'm almost certain Jae means a finished cable with two big jack plugs already attached.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

I really like DiMarzio stuff...a bit like Seymour Duncan they have just been a brand that is consistently good. But, "...fine-tuned for deep bass and open highs". Come on...that's just taking the urinenium.

I subscribe to the subtle differences of say silver wires vs copper....on a hifi...but for what we need, any ole piece of JayCar speaker wire is gonna be good.

Here's a fresh internet idea - let's debate tonal variance in a blind test of JayCar wire vs Blues Lawyer wire?
