DIY should be encouraged, not discouraged. Cost should not the issue. The joy and satisfaction of doing it yourself cannot be overestimated. Like an audiophile from the 50's, go for it!
Thoughts on very cheap speaker cables
Hi all,
Has anyone tried speaker cables made as follows:
1. 4 single 12Ft strands of 22 AWG certified OFHC CDA
101 annealed temper copper ($0.25 a foot).
2. Each inserted in pure lowest dielectric woven cotton.
3. Each assembly inserted in lowest dielectric PTFE tubing.
4. The ends will be sealed with a PTFE sealant.
5. About 1" of bare wire will protrude from the sealed
ends, coated with a low dielectric antioxident.
This will provide a twisted pair, held together with shrink wrap, for each B&W803N speaker connected directly to an Aragon 8008bb amp. All thoughts will be greatly appreicated.
Thanks,
Henry Rancourt
