Thanks

No-nonsense, snake oil free stuff that for the most part is great stuff and well worth the money.

I'll agree with Urban. I have Supra 2 x 10 sq mm, good quality, very flexible.

Supra speaker cables are very flexible but...
If you like smooooth sound...

[JC Fardo]

Thanks

Tecsul have just started a representative venture in Brazil
Not sure yet if they will provide usual 2.5 m teminated elements or per meter. To check.

Hi Carlos

Do you mean they are harsh?
How do you rate its price range? Cheap, pricey?
Um abraço

Olá, JC.

No, I mean that they sound too smooth for my taste.
They take the "air" and detail out of the mids and treble.

You can try some Cable Talk 3.1 or Linn LK10.
These go for around 5 Euros/m here and are MUCH better than any Supra I tried, including the (more expensive) Ply 3.4S.

Um abraço.

Maybe you should change speakers instead. I'm perfectly happy with my electrostatic speakers _and_ the Supra cable.

The sound has "air", is very detailed, is "big".....

P-A, don't tell me that.
I know (and used, and still have) Supra speaker cables for around 20 years.
It's not a question of my current speakers or amp or system.

Good for you.
Maby they are a good match for your speakers.
Maby they are balancing a mid/treble forward character of your speakers.

In my oppinion, the solder-"plating" on the thin OFC-copper wires is responsible for this "recessed" balance.

If you are trying to improve the sound of your system by purchasing anything better than 14 gauge zipcord, you've got a very long road ahead of you. If the cables are contributing to the sound, there is something seriously wrong with the cables, no matter how much they cost or what they look like. Considering all the other wiring in your system and your house, the street, the power plant, etc.... they're the last place for a problem.

if, OTOH, you want to brag about fancy "music hose" cables, or "liquid highs" with "silky smooth" mids... buy the most expensive glitzy cables you can afford. After all, perception ALWAYS trumps reality. PT Barnum once said.....

I remind you that this thread was to give an oppinion on Supra speaker cables.
I don't see any valuable contribution on your post, because you think that cables that "don't contribute to the sound" exist.
Where?
Have we also arrived to the "wire with gain" for the ideal amplifier, or is this the Twilight Zone?

And btw, notice that I did recommend two choices of cables (instead of the Supras), at around 5 Euros/m.
Because who asks for an oppinion on Supra cables will be much better served with these.
