Building Speaker Cables


I have decided to build my own cables. For the cable I’ve chosen DH Labs T-14 cable for the cable connectors on the speaker side will be Furutech FP-201 (G) spade connectors, amp side will be Furutech FP-200b (G) banana plug connectors. Would it be overkill to silver solder all the terminals before sealing the connections with marine grade shrink tubing?

There are Two Threads on this and a Link to a Web Site that originated the following of the build design.

This is a Scratch Built Cable, one chooses their bare wire and gauge, insulator, termination, there are many descriptions of what was detected as an End Sound, when a particular permutation for materials are used in a unique system.

As in all cables, systems are not ubiquitous, hence not all discoveries made and reported on will produce identical results.

Seems counter-intuitive to resort to silver solder at any joints, when gold the gold plating is an inferior conductor to copper even.
