If you are thinking there might be something out there that is going to be better than this Oracle V2.1 speaker cables, you will have to spend a lot more money and find extensively around the World for another cable to beat it. That is how good these cables are. Cables have one previous owner from NEW and has stayed that way because he has not come across another speaker cables that will dethrone them from his system. The .1 version of the V2s offered a more open sound, better imaging, larger soundstaging and a tighter bottom end and improved definition over the original V2.
Cables look good with minor scuff marks here and there that are common with use and a bit of tarnishing on the network box handles. One half of a spade’s “tooth” got chipped off but stays on fine when you screw on the binding post’s cap of your speakers. They will be properly boxed for safe shipping.
