for the Clearview Golden Helix


I have been searching for the right speaker cable for a while now. I've had MIT Terminator 5 and 2, Kimber Cable Kwik12, Synergistic Research Designer's Reference, and now the Mapleshade Golden Helix. Out of all of those the Mapleshade is the most neutral in my opinion. I've heard people say that as the gauge of the cable goes up the amount of bass goes down. I haven't experienced that at all. Everything has improved in my system with the introduction of the Golden Helix, and this is just after having the huge and hugely expensive Synergistic Research in my system. For 85 dollars I can't see this cable being beat, it beat a 4,000 dollar cable in every area. Of course everything is system dependant, but this is as close as I've ever gotten to no speaker wire at all. And Pierre was very helpful answering some questions I had about the cable. Highly recommended.


Product Weakness: I don't particularly care for the colors, but it's so thin it doesn't matter.
Product Strengths: Everything
