Tekton speaker cables
« on: 3 Jan 2020, 01:05 pm »
Has anyone tried Tekton Design speaker cables?
https://www.tektondesign.com/cables.html

Having owned, and enjoyed, a pair of Teton Lore S speakers I believe that Tekton builds in some good bang for the buck and wondered if this carries over to their speaker cable as well.  Any input appreciated.

Mogami makes good cable and I'm sure that Tekton is trying to simplify things for some of their customers by having kind of a one stop shop approach...which many other speaker companies have already done.

I think we can appreciate that they don't make any exotic claims and that their cable reasonably priced.  You can buy the mogami 3082 for about $1.25 per foot and build your cables for less if you are so inclined  https://www.redco.com/Mogami-W3082.html

Or if you want,you can buy what looks to be almost the same cable (seems like they have a variety of lengths) for slightly less than the Tekton price  https://www.amazon.com/10-Foot-Coaxial-Audiophile-Eminence/dp/B00P210W5U

And, like most things sold on Amazon, this version is returnable.

One somewhat interesting thing is that Tekton calls the cable 14 AWG while World's Best Cables calls it 15 AWG (mogami calls it "close to 14 AWG)?

As noted on Mogami's website, this is a super flexible cable which may be another reason that Tekton chose it rather than a heavier 9 or 11 awg offering.

Thank you RonN5 for all that info and the links!  I look forward to researching this a bit more over the weekend.
