About speaker cables..

This subject came up in a recent conversation with Mike Sanders of Quicksilver Audio. Mike claims speaker cable should be kept to a minimum length because that is what transfers the signal.

I would like to make a correction to my recent posting. I meant to say speaker cable should be kept to a minimum length because that is what transfers the power.
OCOS made claims that their wire is ok for long lengths and they even said you can use different lengths. I have a friend using OCOS and we compared both ways. The result was the OCOS sounds better in short equal lengths. OCOS is a very unusual product since it is coax cable rather than speaker cable.

The Quicksilver full function preamp is a good candidate for anyone that wants to run a long interconnect because of the preamp's low output impedance. The earlier Quicksilver preamp's output impedance was 12.5 ohms and the current model is only 1.5 ohms.
