@almarg...thanks, (again) for your kind words.
I run 15 feet of Canare 4S11 per speaker, but I use (1) stick for each of the positive and negative legs per speaker.
Normally the 4S11 has (4) 14 gauge conductors per stick which would be for the positive AND negative leg for each speaker. (2) red and (2) white which twisted together gives you an 11 gauge wire. I tie all (4) conductors together for a ~8 gauge wire. This then feeds ONLY the positive (or negative) leg of the speaker. So you would need (4) total sticks for a stereo pair of speakers. I find this keeps almost all (or any) interference at bay. I know some people shotgun differently, but this works better for me.
I tried using the 4S11 in the conventional way and had great success. Once I tried my "shotgunned" way, the speakers opened up with an increase in speed and bass response and control. Of course, this is using my equipment and my room, but always with electrostatic speakers, (currently Martin Logan CLSIIA and a completely redone and modified and updated pair of Acoustat 2+2’s which are amazing). I’ve owned several pair of Soundlabs and they are indeed wonderful speakers.
I ALWAYS caution people when using/trying this cable to give it at least 200 hours of burn-in. That’s what Canare advises, but IMHO, they really need around 500 hours. I know that seems like a lot, but the outcome is tremendous.
