In 2011, when I set up a system with speakers (Dynaudio), an integrated amplifier and CD player (Goldmund), these were the speaker cables I chose. They were set up at my home, and I auditioned three different cables. At the time, I had no knowledge of the manufacturers or grades, and I made my selection based solely on the sound I heard. In October 2025, I replaced the speakers with Sonus Faber, and in November, I switched the integrated amplifier to McIntosh, and changed the RCA cables to QED. I was so impressed with the QED cables that I also replaced the jumper cables and speaker cables with QED this December. The Diatone W-3003, after researching it, turned out to be an amazing cable. While it comes down to personal preference and compatibility, I recommend it to those looking for a cable, and to those who want to try a generally expensive and high-quality cable first. * Installed and used in the living room. * There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but there is some aging. * Length: 3.8m x 1, 4.2m x 1, for a total of 2 cables.
