Hello Godfather,
Belden 1505F will be similar in performance to Canare LV61S, but I suspect not quite as good.
The specs of the 1505F look good with two layers of braiding, but the braiding is TIN plated.
Tin is not an ideal conductor in my opinion at audio frequencies.
The Canare LV61S has one layer of BARE COPPER braided shielding.
Copper is better than TIN as a conductor at audio frequencies, in my opinion of course
If a manufacturer of a brand name retail cable advertised TIN plated screening , I doubt anyone would buy the cable...
Also remember than Belden is manufactured in USA, Canare in Japan.
In USA, where Belden is promoted more than Canare, The Canare LV61S costs more than THREE times the price of Belden 1505F to buy in bulk.
The Belden is sold for more dollars by websites than the Canare, even though the Belden costs a fraction of the price to buy.....
A full reel of the LV61S terminated with Canare crimped phonos has already been sold to members that emailed me directly, or added these cables to orders from other threads. Everyone has been happy with the cables, although not much feedback on the forums just yet.
I would make more profit per cable selling Belden 1505F, as it is much cheaper to buy in bulk, but I aim for maximum performance for a reasonable price, no compromises on performance with me !
The short answer is that Canare LV61S is better in my opinion.
You are welcome to borrow a pair of LV61S cables to compare at home in your own system.
Hope that helps.
thanks,
Mark.
