can you help me narrow my speaker cables short list please?
seeking a pair of speaker 15ft speaker cables that I can get in white or white covered jacket covered for under 1k
At the moment I'm using Analysis Plus Oval 12, very happy with them but need to switch to something white, my shortlist as follows;
Nordost 2 Flat,
Wireeworld Stream 8,
Chord OdysseyX,
Bluejeans Octoquad
You will save a LOT of money if you build your own speaker cables out of CAT 8 cable. They sound great. 15’ +; 15’ - is 30lf for one cable. x 2, you need 60lf here’s 75 lf white Cat 8, oxygen free copper cut the ends off, strip and twist/crimp the 8 copper strands, attach them to these banana, or spades
8 strands 26 awg is equal to 17 awg. combined wire gauge calculator 8 strands 24 awg is equal to 15 awg |
btw, His Guidance, do the ’between the lines’ math 17 awg, 4 ohm: 20lf max 15 awg, 4 ohm: 30lf max "Simply removing and cleaning the wires and terminals and reconnecting them can make an audible difference". An advantage of the removable connectors shown: remove the connector; cut off the prior stripped conductors; strip 1" and you have new copper.
