Mr. khiak For your equipment, going from #4 to #2 won't do much of improvment.As per the AWG table: https://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htmThe chnge in resistance is not that much from  #4 to #2.For the banana plugs, I recommend on this:http...

Update of the excel table of the DIY cables: https://imgur.com/a/utMuqzK Mr. khiak, could you please be kind to add the missing data? Thanks. I'm happy for all those who followed and ended up with a better cable, way better sound and little inves...

Thank you Mr. khiak To rest my case, all who listened to me on this thread and followed, ended up happy and with way better sound than they started with (whatever was the old cable). Could you please be kind to share some of your impressions on ...

Mr. batenet Sorry, S. Korea is also not responding. None of the e-mails came back with an answer, and both lines (US and S .Korea) are not responding. The date on the data sheet is 2005 (11 years ago). They might change the phone numbers or no ...

Mr. batenet The Inter-M R-500 phone in the US http://www.inter-m.net/_upload/product/2/R-150PLUS_dw_ae.pdf is not responding (not connected). I'll try the S. Korean when time will be proper. I'm still waiting to your answer about the 10 amp's ...

Damping factor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping_factor In an audio system, the damping factor gives the ratio of the rated impedance of the loudspeaker to the source impedance. Only the resistive part of the loudspeaker impedance is used....

Mr. adg101 Welcome to the thread. Good luck with the cables DIY. Regarding your speaker cable requirements (DF is 250. My speakers are Aerial Acoustics 7B’s and my speaker cables are 8ft long per side) you need a 2 AWG. A 0 AWG will be also fine....

Mr. glupson How does it work in engineering: Most times when values are minor regarding the other major circuit values, they tend to be ignored. Otherwise, it may complicate a lot the calculations. When it must be meticulously engineered (NASA, mi...

Mr. glupson 1.       "How thin is that last connecting piece on the 0 AWG wire allowed to be before it can be considered a fuse?" The 0 AWG is not for the current. It is for low resistance to match the relative low resistance of the amp. (DF). S...

Mr. ppc67This thread is about speaker cables. I would prefer not to open her a discusion on electrical wiring in the walls. Please fell free to open your own thread. Thanks.

Mr. batenet Sorry for the "A". I'm still waiting to be answered about the DF of your amp. Most likely it will arrive after the weekend. Could you please elaborate regarding your amplification configuration? That might have some significance...
