Hello @rbschauman I have a very similar situation with equipment on the side and one 18' run and one 30' run to speakers. I have very nice power cables and interconnects, but the long runs were daunting. I first used double runs of 10 gauge OCC copper from Parts Express and made my own. But talking with Chris at VHAudio, he suggested Furutech FS Alpha 36 Speaker Cable. I bought the bulk cable, nice Furutech spades and plenty of nice shrink and (most importantly) an inexpensive Ryobi heat gun. It was a fun project (I can solder), did not break the bank and a huge sound upgrade. I left one of the homemade copper runs for the bass end and use the Furutech for the mids high input. My new speakers (Dynaudio Confidence 20) actually have only one inout, so perfect. Chris has more and less expensive wire, and is great to chat with. Don't sweat the difference in length. You can't hear it.
Long Run of Speaker Cabling
Hello, AGon Folks -
My setup dictates a long run of speaker cabling (about 18') from my Conrad Johnson Premier 12 Mono Blocks to my Vandersteen Quatro Wood speakers. Though not ideal, there is no other way that I'll arrange the placement of my components.
If anyone would care to give a recommendation for replacement speaker cabling (18' runs) that would do well in this setup I would appreciate it very much. I would like to stay with Bi wiring.
My components:
Vandersteen Quattro Loudspeakers
Van Den Hul Teatrack Biwire Speaker Cable (to be replaced)
Conrad Johnson Premier 12 Mono Block Power Amps
Conrad Johnson Premier 16LS Preamp
Sota Star Saphire Turntable with Benz Zebra cartridge
Conrad Johnson HD3 USB DAC
Innuos Zen Mk. 3 Streamer
Stealth PGS interconnects exclusively
Thank you,
Randy
