Hoping to do a some new upgrades to my set up, and better speaker cables is one of them.

Locally there are a couple of shops that will custom cut and terminate DH Labs Odyssey MKII, and Audioquest Type 4. I also stumbled upon Laspada Audio Research online: http://www.laspadaaudio.com/14-Gauge-Speaker-Cables.html

Compared to the former options has anyone heard good things about the Laspada cables? The prices seam on the lower end and I am wondering if this is a get what you pay for situation, or a nice budget friendly option.

Thanks and cheers!

Monoprice pure copper #12 speaker cable is the way to go.

Monoprice #2789 is a 100-foot spool.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll keep Monoprice in mind when I plan to upgrade the cables for my computer system.

I ended up going with a pair of Signal Cable's Classic Speaker Bi-Wire Cables.

I read good reviews, and for the price I thought the value/quality was proportionate to the rest of my system (Rotel RA-12, Pro-Ject Debut Carbon, Polk Rti's).

Cheers!

Glad to hear you have high regards for Signal Cable.

I am quite happy with them. Previously I had a long cable run and couldn't afford much. So I was running 20 foot long custom terminated and shielded Monster cables. I recently moved and was able to reduce may run down to 6 feet and the Signal Cables seemed like the best option to match my system for my budget.

After using them for a little over 3 months I think I am safely passed the burn-in period. Compared to my genky Monster cables they seem more controlled and less airy. If that makes sense.

Plus the build quality is fabulous.
