Why would you want to use pin connectors? Screwing down the speaker wire directly to the posts will give you a better connection at the speaker end. On the receiver end you can just connect the other end of a stripped speaker wire. I'd look for the heaviest gauge of oxygen free finely stranded and preferably fluxed wire that you can fit into the spring-loaded holes of the terminals of the receiver and if you know how, coat them with silver solder before inserting them at both ends. Skar Audio Elite Oxygen-Free Copper Audio Speaker Wire is an excellent speaker wire for the $. Found on Amazon. For your purpose/ components, I see no reason to buy any other wire. I have probably bought over 400 feet of this wire since moving into my current house in different gauges in the past year, and I will vouch for it!

nandoe67 OP Just add solder to the stripped ends! You can get a basic soldering iron and solder for $10-$20! If you haven't soldered before, the learning process is as easy as a few tries on a practice piece of wire. |
dill: Experience is the "key" word. I have lived in more countries than I can count on two hands and have visited around 35. No offense to you but making generalizations is very naive. Unless you have been to China or other countries and have purchased and/ or auditioned their cables, you would not really know, would you? Sure, maybe you have gotten a hold of a Chinese cable that you did not like, but in no way does that validate your statement to stay away from Chinese cables. You want good cables? Try some extruded fine silver wire from Taxco (not in the US)! |
