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 surgery. By the Grace of God though, I'm healing slowly but surely and am open for business again. With that being said, an 8ft pair of pure silver Shotgun cables, terminated with my spades, bananas or a combo sells for $270 shipped in the USA and does carry the 30 day money back guarantee. Moreover, the shotgun model does quite a nice job with speaker sensitivities from about 93-94dbs up to about 98-99dbs. Many have used the shotgun with over 100db speakers as well, but the single does a great job with speaker efficiencies at 100dbs and above too. For 94-93dbs and below, the Double Shotgun does an outstanding job and it's been my most popular cable for quite some time now. Also, the 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 Google Clear Day Cables for further details, 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 as 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 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 Shotgun Review by jonbee My main rig is anchored by a pair of highly resolving biwired VMPS RM-30 planar/ribbon hybrids. All my ICs are Goertz TQ silver, which I've always loved for their balance and detail. A bit of background on speaker cables - over the years I've used a number of "mid-priced" ($2-400 per 8ft. pair) speaker cables, from MIT, Goertz, AQ, Mapleshade, Kimber and others. A while back I tried some braided .99999 pure silver/teflon cables for my mids and highs, and found that they provided much more detail than any of the others I've tried. This was very addictive when combined with the RM-30s, so I moved away from the Goertz M2s on top to the silver braids. I've loved the sound, except that there was always a trace of edge in the mid-treble that I could not eliminate. When I read about the Clear Day cables (in ads on A-gon), I was intrigued by the reports that these offered silver cable sound without the characteristic edge. As I really wanted to get the most of my rig, based on owners reports I went for the top end double shotguns at $450/8 ft. pr. Paul offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee, so I figured I had little to lose. When these smallish, light cables arrives, I installed them on the mid/high section of the RM-30s, and immediately liked what I heard. Indeed, not only was the detail as good as my high purity silver cables, it was notably better. The biggest thing I noticed was the the background was "blacker", with more separation between instruments, than I had ever heard, period. Also, the edge which I had hoped to eliminate was indeed completely gone. The micro-dynamic contrast and harmonic balance now was beautifully natural, with the emphasis on "beautiful". I've put over 100 hours on them now, and I feel I'm truly hearing my system for the first time. Internal voices in complex works are much better differentiated, but the balance is a smooth and easy as a fine silk shirt. they simply sound right, from top to bottom. Truly great, IMO. As mentioned, I'm only using them on the mid/highs. The midbass section from 40-280 hz. is wired with very heavy gauge Vertevarius copper cables. I love the sound of that section, and it blends perfectly with the mids, so I will leave it alone. Thus I can't comment on the bass quality of these cables. Other users have reported that they have great bass, however. In the last year I have replaced my entire front end, at the incremental cost of $1-2k per component. All the improvements have been very satisfying, but I must say that the money spent on these cables made a bigger improvement, for much less $, than any other component upgrade, so I consider them a screaming bargain among truly high end gear. Cables, even more than other components, are very synergistic, and great sounding cables in one system can be disasters in another. I've experienced this many times, so I would add that as a warning. However, I must add that Paul, the owner is very knowledgeable and totally committed the satisfaction of the owners. Needless to say, these cables are not going back to Paul, but I'm sure that if the synergy was wrong, he would refund the $ without question. On that basis, these really are a no-brainer. I highly recommend giving them a try. Product Weakness: Decidedly not "Technicolor"; if you're looking for added color, warmth, or emphasis, these won't provide it.
