HiGHFLYiN9 Thanks. Have you recabled your Denons yet? I'm thinking cardas, but I hate the smurf blue cable Thanks

Got bored last night so I wondered if a custom IC with neutrik plugs and 3 strands of 26 gauge spc would be any better for my computer set up than the crappy IC that came with my monitor. It was! I should have done this months ago.

Not quite yet James. I may eventually try some 24 gauge solid core copper in teflon from PartsConnexion but I'm pretty happy with the stock sound so far.

You can also get Cardas 24 gauge Cardas stranded copper in teflon by the strand for ~$1.50 a foot in a number of colors, then just braid it yourself. It would end up being a little more flexible since it doesn't have the jacket.

I thought that Cardas had stopped making the smurf cable and that all you could get now was the gray jacketed stuff?

Everytime I order it I end up with the blue, maybe the suppliers have tons of old stock that they are sitting on. I'm sure that most normal people would prefer the gray. I'd personally be happy with some bright glossy orange or purple.... George Cardas I hope you're listening

Lil' Knight, where do you get your Vampire Wire from? Is it stranded?
