No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
I would like to make myself clear about the speaker cables: Speaker cables were never tackled by the audio industry properly. They've been over looked or got a magic approach, rather an engineering approach. Bad for all of us. The roll of speake...

Mr. stereofro10I'm sorry for you that after my effort to pass you an insight, you got it all wrong.I see that the say: "It is hard to teach an old dog a new tricks", is true!

Mr.  grannyring For the  3x0 AWG  suggestion: My suggestion was for 3 AWG at 8'.You require 20'. That increases the cable resistance by 3 and if you go to the guage table it calls for a 3 times 0 AWG to keep it the same as a 3 AWG of 8' long.T...

Mr. grannyringI feel like my idea was not thoroughly understood.It is not about thickening the wire, the thicker - the better. It is about doing an engineering calculation, that is based on the equipment spec., to specify the precise guage your sy...

Mr. grannyring, you say: "Based on your way of thinking, which I don’t agree with totally, "It is up to you to accept or decline my say.Please be kind to acknowladge me when and if you get any (other) explanation or way to calculate a speaker cabl...

Mr. sejodiren says: I use jumpers for my speakers. who needs banana plugs...Enjoy. The contact with the clamps of the jumper cables are at a very little area. A good banana plug is way better on contact. also less risky if it disconnects or the re...

Your Amp. is class D (Digital PCM). No DF or output impedance is provided:http://lyngdorf.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/tdai-2170-owners-manual_v17.pdfThe 30A output is the only clue but not good enough. Speakers: conventional coil loaded. Ok.As ...

Mr. grannyring What equaipment are you going to connect, and how long your cable is going to be?I’ll repeat my say: not all need a 0 AWG! some don’t need a thick cable at all, some do, some need it even thicker. It better be calculated.It would be...

Going back for a minute to the JPS cable Add.: http://www.jpslabs.com/aluminata.shtmlEven though it is a power cable, they state: 60A and 14,000W and 250A and 48,000W. Absolutly impressing...By the AWG standard (https://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Si...

Sorry, I have no picture of that taken.I'll try to explain.The ideais to use a short 8 AWG (the thickest wire that can fit into the banana plug) that is going between the banana plug and the 0 AWG cable.As I said in one of my posts, an 0 AWG can n...

Just seen this add. on this site:http://www.jpslabs.com/speakercable.shtmlFor jps cables.Not a word on any technical data: resistance, for what equipment they are good for...They do talk about a lot of power (Watts) or current (Amp’s) and a shield...

Mr. DillThis banana plug is as good as it gets. A friend who was a QA at a large hi-tech firm checked the subject and ended up with those over all others.The tip is making a way better contact (felxibility and surface ares), than other methodes. I...

Mr. douglas_schroeder I oppened this disscusion on speaker cables. Please let's keep it clean from other cables. Thanks.What I think about the subject?The power cord has no significance at all in Audio.It is the last 3’ you tackel, while many are ...

Mr. Dill, this is not the one you address (Amazone). It is a good 0 AWG cooper wire.I’ll tell you a secret: All cables are having a nylon sleve over, for a reason: So no one can see what is beneath it.No one will cut a cable that cost’s a leg and ...

Regarding Mr. Dill’s Q: " What about a double run of 0 AWG wire?Should be twice as good ...."The low cable resistance has an optimum value. After that, getting more gauge, would have little or no benefit (sonic) but will cost way more, as more mat...
