Who loves Cotton ??


A trend I've noticed for a long time now but never indulged is the use of cotton or even silk insulators on wires intended for low voltages, including speaker voltages.

 

I'm just wondering why, and who has direct experience with them in general.

 

Thanks!

I used some really skinny gauge Jupiter copper hookup wire in cotton as a speaker cable on some of the Zu 16 ohm models (skinny wire had been recommended by my tube amp designer and by Sean at Zu).  It worked quite well, the wire sounded just as good as pricey cables.
