JohnA Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 How do you like the braided CAT-5? It looks cool, if nothing else. I couldn't tell the difference with my La Scalas. If I did it again, and I'd recommend others doing it, I'd use 3 different colors to make the braid. It's just for aesthetics, BTW.

USparc Posted April 30, 2002 Author Share Posted April 30, 2002 John, The FTP cat5 is the best upgrade I ever did!!! Previous I had the cobra 2.5 from monitor. A friend of my let me use his kimber 4TC cables (2x2m), just for the fun. If I had to biwire all my speaker with that cable I could build up a new HT. But the cable impressed me so hard that the monitor cable had to go. So I had to find something close to the kimber. The cheapest was to go with cat5 cable. In short, the FTP cat5 cable matches the kimber very well. The FTP cat5 is a bit brighter and even more dynamical. Even my RF-3's and RC-3 have the FTP cat5 as internal wire!!
