Hello, I got a A23 speaker cable and i am happy so far with my altec 604 speakers. I read that a lot shindomaniacs Use the belden cable. How they compare? Worth a try? Thanks Michael

Seems like it may be - low cost/low risk. WE 16ga wu=ire is pretty good too.

I use that Belden wire on my Shindo system and find it useful for the price.

I'm going try out some belden 9497 biwire this week thats been cryogenic treated, and cooked for five days.

let us know how it works. I am trying out the Belden in a Pioneer Series 20/WLM Lyra setup and so far very impressed.

Ok its been a couple of weeks now that i have the wire installed. My impressions are these wires do a fantastic job, I truly am impressed with them. I could go on about better bass or better soundstage but really my are feet tapping as I listen to music and i am enjoying just listening to the music. Though i think the shindo's do really help with it.

Hey Stef, thanks for reporting your opinion. Curious, do you have the A23 speaker cable for comparison? Regardless, I'm glad to hear that it connects you to the music!

Just curious if anyone has taken this comparison one step further and has tried the Duelund wires (which Jeff at jeff's place considers to be "superior" to WE).
They did wonders in my (Unison Reserch) system.

That is my next experiment, just cant decide which gauge to get the 16 or the 20?

I have tried both 16AWG and 20AWG and have settled for 16AWG for bass/low freq and 20AWG for med/high (same as Jeff was suggesting).

For me it was a very cheap way to improve the sound substantially. But still, I do have one more Duelund wire combination to try.
