Hello All, For a bit of fun I thought I would post a little HiFi competition for Christmas, just for your entertainment! Below is a picture of some interesting loud speaker cables, so the question is who made them and what are they called. There is one person I know on TAS who is aware of them so no cheating please.    |

Don't recognise them, sorry.

I'd call them 'shorts' - due to their length.

I assumed they're jumpers.

I recognise them. They're the "Fat Bstard" Cables. Thicker gauge = better sound quality of course.  |

I assumed they're jumpers. If jumpers they would be for some humungous loudspeakers as they are 2m in length  |

Ah, I see, 2m makes them somewhat fat!

Ah, I see, 2m makes them somewhat fat! They are about 50mm in diameter, the cable ends in the photo are about 5mm. They are pretty well made overall. |

That is pretty much what my TNT UBYTE 2 cross connected coax leads would look like if padded & covered. |

As Christmas is over I thought I ought to let you know what these weirdoes are, I am reliably informed they are a pair NVA Speaker Sound pipes, I believe only one or two pairs were made. They are made of multi core solid wires, I was told all military grade and selected to get the best across all frequencies, the work very well and are pretty neutral IMO. I ended up with them some years ago when I purchased a NVA pre and power amp in a Milton Keynes Audio shop for silly money and these came with them. |
