How to select a good Speaker Cable
Mr. dave_b Owning equipment gets you no knowledge about it. So your bumptious response gets you no advantage. Its only a miserable attempt of a shallow character. All you may say is that you can afford the equipment.Instead of wasting time (yours... 
How to select a good Speaker Cable
Mr.  dave_bRegardless, if you have a point or not, till you won't offer a better solution, you practically have nothing.I also have more than 40 years of experience, but this "eurica" came to me only in the past 10-15 years. I did extensive te... 
How to select a good Speaker Cable
Mr.  qilin_makerThe answer is NO !It was tested with a system of a friend, using PASS LAB 250W power Amp, with calculated cables of #4 AWG.On an occasion I made a new cable of #0 AWG for demo, I tested it with his system (and a nice bottle of win... 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
Mr.  audio2designYou may be with whom you like to. 1. You ,may throw more complication on the subject, yet you bring no solutions: What is the parameter to look at, and what is its relations to the system its connected with?2. As long as you stay... 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
Mr.  millercarbonYour model I-880 is a tube amp. Those, tend to have two ways to go with:1. Provide no data or very little. So DF spec. is not to be found.2. Tube amps have a nature of low to very (!) low DF figure.I would take an educated guess,...

#16 AWG would do. 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
Mr. millercarbon With all the respect to your empiring methode, it will take you a lifetime to tune into the right cable, and still you may not get there. On top, when cables are relatively costly, it may cost you a bit. If you would step up and ... 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
I spent some time to figure out why and what is the electrical parameter to make a speaker cable better or worst. I need to agree with Mr. audio2design that Mr. Max Townshend got it wrong. Sorry about that.I’d found out that a speaker cable is a w... 
Building Balanced XLR Cables
Mr. auxinputXLR should be by STD. No exceptions. Salt and pepper are from another recipe. I used, built, tested and opened XLR cables. Many for the VOA (Voice of America) projects I was involved (including a winning bid for a station proposal. I w... 
Building Balanced XLR Cables
HiXLR cables should have two conductors and a shield. NOT 3!Do not use the 3rd conductors for GND. Use the shield.Shield is significant to protect from EMI/RFI. use it as GND.Two ground lines (3rd wire and shield) may cause a ground loop and add h... 
No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
Mr. DillIf so, why do yo keep being involved in those threads?I challenge your say: It is just not practical to use large gauge wires in most installations. For those it apply (high DF and medium to long cables) it will improve sound significantly...

Can we please get back to the subject? Thanks.Just saying, I've been vaccinated yesterday for COVID-19. Here in Israel,  vaccination is the fastest progressing in the world. Now in 30 days I'll be safe and immuned. So' I'm good with COVID-19, but ...

Sorry, I have no idea of what you are talking about. You must be mistaken me with someone else.  
No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
Mr.  eichlereraSorry to disappoint you, but I don't have a theory of MY OWN, on electrons flow through the conductor. I learned it as all other from the very basics on conductivity. It served me well, on all circuitry I designed, built and tested.  
No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
HiGoogle it up. I never thought it matters, after all, we use it, on daily bases, in every electric device on the planet. For some reason, audiophiles tend to think that it is special in their sound system. Well it’s the same. Many of those are li...
