Switched from generic cables to Blue Jeans cables and I can’t honestly say that I heard a difference, but I really like the way they look and feel, plus the locking banana plugs are a pleasure to use.
With speaker cable, you very quickly encounter the law of diminishing returns. There is no way a 3000 dollar set will be 10 times better than a 300 dollar set. It's simply conspicuous consumption.
I use these Micca speaker cables on my Polk Audio LSi25 mains and LSiC center. I wish they made them in custom lengths so that I could use them on my LSiFX surrounds. These cables are fantastic! I use a Rotel RSP-1582v.2 pre/pro and a Rotel RMB-1585 5-channel amplifier.
I used 10 gage stranded copper power cord from Home Depot. I tried those expensive flat cables and they did sound better, less power drop. I achieved the same sound quality with the 10 gage cable, using high quality banana connectors. If anything give the 10 gage power cord a try, you maybe suprised.
I tried those, sounded really nice! But found some Atlas cables used for quite a bit more that worked much better after a speaker change. It really is system dependent 👍🏼
You made my day! I just bought those exact Cables for my new Stereo System. Got the Yamaha R-N 800A Receiver with Dynaudio Evoke 10 Speakers. Very happy with the Yamaha R-N800a, the Dynaudio Evoke 10's and those Micca 14 gauge, 12 foot Speaker Cables! Thank-you
I used to think alot about speaker cable and using bigger more expensive copper ones until it clicked,after opening many sets of speakers i noticed the wires from the inside of the terminal post to the crossover then to speakers was nowhere near as big as my external wires,so i found it pointless using anything bigger than what is inside the speakers enclosure.
I'm going to go buy a bag of popcorn (instead of new speaker cables) and enjoy the snack while reading the comments that are about to spring forth. Will be far more noticeable and entertaining. 😁
The thing I find really amusing is how different people's experiences are. I wonder how that works. And placebo's work both ways :) But I do like popcorn....
So next time before swapping cable follow this test: disconnect your existing cables, clean both the speaker posts and your existing cable’s connectors. Reconnect and listen, make your notes and swap the cables.
The most I’ve ever spent on cables were for my Mofi Sourcepoint 10. I purchased a set of Worlds Best Cables Ultimate - 7 AWG cables. One thing is for sure. If cables could be built like tanks, these cables are it.189 a set. Is there scientific proof that cables actually have a “sound”. Not sure. I do find it hilarious though when seeing people post about a particular cables “sound”. Perhaps they do. I just go for cables that are built well and to last. Anything from WBC has been great for my systems.
@@erwindewit4073it’s 7 guage copper wire. (Ofc). Worlds best cables are made well and do not cost a ton. That’s why I like them. Now whether or not they sound better or worse than cables more or less than them, I have no clue. Lol. Not sure I can tell any differences. lol.
I bought those from Amazon and they are well built. I needed something with thicker banana plugs but that’s because I am hooking up old speakers and the terminals have some wear.
I'm from the UK I only bought the length I required from giraffe audio in Birmingham it cost £20 meter so not the cheapest for 100m maybe you could try and get it directly from Japan could be more cost effective that way
A question that comes to mind with this recommendation: a lot of these kinds of manufacturers on Amazon seem to rebrand pre-made products. Can you be sure that the quality of these cables is going to be consistent between different pairs? As in: can we expect them to use the same construction/materials for each production run?
Thank you. I use your recommended cables and am very glad you recommended them -- well balanced and very clear. How about doing something like that using interconnects? That would be extremely ingeresting and helpful as you plow through differences in moderately priced (
I have a pair of the Micca 14 Gauge Pure Copper Speaker Wire, 12 Feet. The Blue Jeans Cable "Ten White" Speaker Cables are a very neutral sounding cable and I prefer them to the Micca cables.
I bought a pair based on your review. I have say they sound fantastic. Thanks for the suggestion. Like to hear your opinion on budget vs high-end interconnects.
I'm still using some bulk Audioquest cable that I bought in 1994. It's stiff. 2 wires each for +/-. AS I remember it was only $2.50/ft. It sounds great.
You'd better change the internal cables in the speakers as well. Otherwise what you're doing isn't much different from taking a speaker cable, cutting it in half and replacing one half with a different cable.
I bought these off of your last review and have been very happy with them. Coming from lamp cord speaker wire to these cables did vastly improve sound quality, the music was much cleaner with greatly improved detail.
how do you explain the sentence "(these) cables sound better" and have "a better sound"? Are you saying electric currents vary in speed and power based on how much you pay them? :))
I have these exact cables from your recommendation in 12ft lengths. I wish these came in longer sizes like 20-30 feet lengths so I can have other speakers in other spots of the room and not have to move the speakers in and out of the system.
Exactly what I found. With my old system I had £9k's worth of silver cables all through and they made a huge difference. But, they sound awful in my current system (2wpc SET and single drivers), which in turn sounds amazing with cotton insulated, tinned copper, Western Electric style cable from Duelund/Belden/Switchcraft.
Very interesting my question is if your speaker manufacturer is using a specific brand cable to connect your crossovers to connect from your Hub on the back of your speaker to your tweeters woofers Etc why would you use any other brand to connect to your amplifier it's almost in Defiance wouldn't it be that it would best be served if your speaker manufacturer using a particular brand of cable to internally wire the speakers for impedance Distortion Etc you would use that same brand of cable to connect the speaker itself to the amplifier. So that you are not defeating compatibility 19 gauge wire say internally, but then you decide to put a 12 gauge wire connected to it so I would think you would want compatibility among the internal cabling to your external cabling to your amplifier. Your thoughts?
I think that any cable you place between components will become part of the overall circuit. Changing the circuit will affect the sound for better or worse. Find the synergy. I love the Valhalla too.
Why do so many reviewers talk about cables but fail to talk about the connectors? Connectors can be more important than the wire itself. And no connectors can be even better. So much confusion for the Neo-audiophile.
100% Correct "Silver Connector " that degrades without cleaning I use bare wire copper just twist the strands. SubPar connection equals weak sound don't tune audio with a bad connector
@@Hyxtryx Could be, but I only needed 2 meters for two 1 meter length for my powered speakers. Check out eB. I used 8 gauge teflon, maybe found at pet shops. They blew away the flat Nordost knockoffs that are expensive elsewhere.
Indeed... cables do matter but at what cost ? High end cables are priced like jewelry... up to 500% markup ! I am thrilled with my Amazon cables and have the rest of the $$$ invested for the future.
Have noticed a drop in sound on pro audio equipment when connections have not been moved or changed after time. A bass amp with a lot of drop off in tone and pulled then replaced the speaker connections . May this be happening to a lesser degrees with stereo equipment Thanks for the GREAT Videos. !!!
i’ve got two pairs of these cables and I must admit I don’t like them much. You and Andrew Robertson speak so highly of them and you are far more seasoned than I yet I like my Kimber VS considerably better. Perhaps they just don’t complement my systems.
I had these cables in different audio rigs and they sucked in every set up! They are dark and very muffled sounding. I replaced these on all my audio set ups with Blue Jean cables ($120 a pair). Sound improvement about 20% for the better. Clear and detailed - it is like I lifted a curtain. It happened on three different systems like this. It should be a crime to recommend these cables.
@@scottanderson6807 Yes, you are correct with the bass. With the Blue Jean cables I have a way stronger, precise and punchy bass. I can't really understand why these cables are so popular??? I also have to question professional audio reviewers ...
Quick question....I bought the micca cables and they are really really nice. In the future, I could buy some speakers that might have the option to be bi wired. I tried to see if micca made bi wire cables and I can't find any by them. Is there a nice set like the micca of a bi wire cables that you like as much?
Some folk even think the cable direction does have an affect, But the cable don't know what way it's facing, it's just wire thick or thin, long runs can have an affect but a twelve foot short run can't really be heard or measured thick or thin in terms of sound quality.
I use a set of prefaire cables from Amazon, and I think they were about $40. I love them, but I’ve considered picking up these just to see if there is any difference since Amazon returns are super easy.
I'm faced with a non-ideal set up in a new apartment. This likely isn't a long term living scenario, but I want to set up my system while we're here. I need something as long as 30 feet. Do you know of any options that could fit that need?
I don't get it: you say you're gonna choose the cheaper ones because you value your budget more than the extra 5% of perfection the expensive ones offer... but then you say that you still own expensive cables... so why not use these, if you have them?
The extent of the effect probably depends on the elements of the chain. I have seven types of speaker cables. My system sounds different with each one. The effect of the speaker cables on the sound is greater than that of the connecting cables (between DAC and amplifier).
I wish those MIcca speaker cables came in all black color. That red stands out, and I would prefer that cables not be such a visual standout in the room.
From the Audio Research Ref 150SE manual: Important Use the best available speaker wires and interconnects. Audio Research cannot emphasize this enough. As better components and systems are developed, it becomes increasingly important to avoid the limitations of inferior system interconnections.
I just listen to some OCC cables from Canada that are made to a high quality standard that are resonably priced. No need for the exotics and yes I have listend to various popular brands.
most amps etc I've seen recommend 14 ga wires not $ 200 a foot stuff, just copper wire. I'm using 10 ga now, used 14 ga 'monster' type for like 2 decades no problem but thought it was getting funky, at least visually. the standard wire gauge per length of wire run factor. I have had problems with ' banana plugs' from E bay ( nakamichi brand ) breaking. irritating.
Are these Micca cables actually 4 meters? Amazon's site says they are 12 feet/4 meters, but 12 feet is not the same as 4 meters. 4 meters is about 13 feet 1.5 inches. Can anyone clarify what the actual length is?
Switched from generic cables to Blue Jeans cables and I can’t honestly say that I heard a difference, but I really like the way they look and feel, plus the locking banana plugs are a pleasure to use.
You haven't heard a difference because there is no difference.

I bi-amp my Linn speakers with those cables. They work great and look nice and make a great connection.

Hi
I am really happy with those, I got them almost 2 years ago and they do a great job on my Focal speaker and Sugden amp! 💯💯💯

I achieved the same sound quality with the 10 gage cable, using high quality banana connectors. If anything give the 10 gage power cord a try, you maybe suprised.
what bananas did u buy
I hear a difference every time i change a cable but i'm pretty sure it's placebo effect. Super powerful effect, the mind is very tricky.
Whether it is Placebo or not, it shouldn't matter! At the end of the day, you hear a difference.
Nailed it 🔨
Yeah
Exactly
Cables make an objective difference. Accept it
Build your own interconnects and speaker cables....Mogami is great quality that doesn't break the bank.

We are told tone controls on a pre-amp are a no-no. But cables as a tone control is ok. Hmmmm.

Why though? Didn't you hear any differences between cables before? Did the differences disappear after the internal wiring revelation?
I recently bought some of those on Amazon and I really like them. I prefer that they don't have big clunky connectors that can unscrew.
I have had those cables (Micca 14 Gauge Pure Copper Speaker Wire) for over 3 years ghey sound great! and Zeos likes them too! Cheers!

Those direction indicators are related to the shielding/grounding construction of the cable not the 'direction' of the wire.
