Hello everyone and welcome to 2018,I hope you all had a nice 2017 and mine was a bit overwhelming with my 2 level back fusion. By the Grace of God though, I healing slowly but surely and am open for business again. With that being said, an 8ft pair of my pure silver Double Shotgun cables, terminated with my spades, bananas or a combo is priced at $450 shipped in the USA and carries the 30 day money back guarantee. The Double shotgun cable model performs extremely well with speakers at or below 92-93dbs as it was designed to bring the most signal to lower efficiency and or hungrier speakers. Actually, the Double shotgun model is my most popular cable model and many have greatly enjoyed the Double Shotgun model with higher sensitivity speakers as well for they do bring the most body, dynamics and slam of all my cable models. Also, the Double Shotgun model is not a biwire cable so one would need jumpers (yours or mine) if they wished to biwire their speakers. Custom lengths are available as well, but I cannot offer the money back guarantee in that regard and hope you understand. Please feel free to ask questions as well as Google Clear Day Cables for further testimonials and info on all my cables. I do ship worldwide and welcome those interested in my products outside the USA, but the free shipping only applies to the USA. Fellow Audiophiles, Why should you consider Clear Day Solid Core Silver Speaker Cables? Extraordinary value! Clear Day Solid Core Silver Speaker Cables transmit detail and texture, like on a clear day when, seemingly, you can see forever. I too, am a passionate audiophile and after years of searching, feel I've found the best sounding solid core silver wire to date as it combines the many virtues of silver with the warmth of oxygen-free copper. Plus, when you buy my cables, you are not paying for expensive advertising, overhead or two levels of markup-distributor and retailer. Furthermore, I do not use exotic jacketing or connectors that often look great, but sonically degrade the sound in my view. My success depends on word-of-mouth advertising and despite my less than hi-end prices, you have my personal guarantee that my cables compete sonically with almost anything in the world. Why Solid Core? It is my experience that pure solid core silver wire transfers the signal more naturally than multi-stranded wires. Consequently, Clear Day Solid Core Silver matches well with both solid-state or tube equipment and I often get feedback saying my cables sound great immediately, requiring very little break-in. Paul Laudati, President DOUBLE SHOTGUN Review by Spindrifter: Unqualified Disclaimer - I am in no way employed, or paid by, or connected to Clear Day Cables. I am neither a distributor nor reseller, nor do I advertise or promote for that company. This is an authentic, independent review. I had intended to post this review some time ago, but alas, 2009 turned into a year of unwelcome surprises [in no particular order: involuntary unemployment, ill health (self, family, friends), drought, massive bush fires, environmental degradation, neighborhood violence, etc]. Fortunately we're still here and so is my music collection and audio system! It has been over 12 months since an 8 foot pair of Clear Day Double Shotgun speaker cables were purchased from Clear Day Cables in Arizona. The transaction was handled with aplomb and a USPS Priority parcel arrived a week later. To begin with, these cables are composed of basically four materials - high purity solid core silver, techflex woven nylon sheath, heatshrink and connectors (in my case, low-mass, silver-coated beryllium copper banana plugs attached with van den Hul silver solder) all arranged in a twisted pair topology. They are not as physically robust as some other speaker cables (antithesis of Viagra-bloated garden hose), so some care must be taken in placement and connection. Those who understand cable dielectric properties will note the following descending order of merit: total vacuum, air, foamed Teflon, Teflon, foamed polypropylene etc etc. These Clear Day cables feature an air dielectric (in the main). Another aspect of these cables that should be noted is their running-in period (what I call "forming"). It is certainly protracted; I would estimate a minimum of around 200 hours to yield sonic behavior approaching the finished item. So all those excruciatingly impatient and/or skeptical audiophools out there, Clear Day cables may not be for you. (Another peculiarity mentioned by Paul Clear Day is that if one does not use the sound system for an extended period - say, weeks or months, as I did when the bush fires were raging - these cables partially regress to raw-state sonics, and more forming is required, though nowhere near as long as original burn-in. I concur with Paul.) Over 30 years in audio I've auditioned, owned and sold many speaker cables. These included various grades of Nordost, MIT, Cardas, van den Hul, Straightwire, Wireworld, Audioquest, Tara, Kimber, PNF Audio, Supra, QED, Chord, XLO, Cat6, Anti-Cable, custom foil etc etc. I am well-versed in all manner of audio gear - analogue, digital, tube, solid state, hybrid, planar, dynamic, electrostatic etc etc. I am a qualified musician and part-time producer while also remaining a fierce critic of the recording industry. Paradoxically I am finding a lot of what passes these days for "high end audio" and attendant media coverage verging on the absurd. Much of it reeks of bovine excrement. Enough of the preamble. I can state that these Clear Day cables are the most musical, articulate, revealing, natural, neutral, linear, balanced, accurate speaker cables it's been my privilege to own and experience. In fact they seem to disappear and let one become completely, utterly and blissfully wrapped up in the music. The performers emerge out there, smack dab in the listening room. What more could one ask? More than once I've sat there grinning like a Cheshire cat, just taking in all the aural delights. Simply put, Clear Day Double Shotgun is in another league. The most literal speaker cable I've ever auditioned, but it does not produce falsely-embellished etched "hifi", unlike many other cables, just beguiling natural sound. Warning - Clear Day will spotlight any shortcomings in system components and mismatched chemistry between them. But once fully formed and in a properly-sorted system, Clear Day sonic rewards can be breath-taking! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Product Weakness: Protracted forming (running-in) period. Not terribly robust.
Product Strengths: Neutrality, transparency, nuanced inner detail, unconstrained
extension at both frequency extremes, airy highs, deep-controlled-fast-vise-like-grip bass, immaculate imaging, sound-staging and instrument bloom, immense PRaT and an overall coherence that engages the listener. These are not for those who seek a tone control or passive filter to color sound - they are completely accurate and literal in what they reproduce. Impressive value. And Paul who has a fine ear and is a true gentleman. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Associated Equipment for this Review:
