How to select a good Speaker Cable
Mr. unfairlane "calculations which cannot always be trusted" Tell this no NASA or any Airborne manufacturer.Bi/tri- wiring is BS. Run it on a Spice simulation and see why.No conductor needs BI. It is the most common say for dealers to prevent a ba...

Mr. unfairlane If you would be kind to read back a bit, you would find out two major things:1. The calculation works,2. If you connect a thicker cable than required by calc. it will not improve sound.For a tube amp. with so many floues, the cable... 
No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
Mr. DillIsn't it a bit supercilious to claim your stuff, the way you do, without ever try it yourself?It is easier to sit at the stand and criticize those who play the game.It's also a disgrace.

Mr. kijanki It is interesting that you contradict yourself in the same sentence.If you like low DF ube sound, you are welcome.If you look into a higher DF of SS A/B class or very high DF of D class, it matters.It is about controlling the speaker'...

Mr. au_laitYou are good.

I know I'm on the right track.Every time I (or someone else) tried, it worked!

What is your Amp's DF and how long is the cable required?The #0 awg is the cable for a narrow combinations of Amp's / Length.In some cases. less is required, in some more!

No.A solid conductor at 0 awg is irrelevant. The one I use has over 4K strands and is relatively flex for a #0 awg cable.Also there is no reason to use one over the other electrically.They still do the same job over the Audio FR range.

Insights...A few years ago, a good friend of mine, got a new sound system:B&W 802D speakers, PASS Labs 205.8 power and the 12 Pre.I calculated and build him a set of #4 AWG speaker cables. It sounded well and since he is happy with his sound.Y...

Mr. estereoThanks McIntosh is keeping to build tube like Amps, mostly utilize an output transformer on the output stage. That is a 1/2 of the way, even if the drivers of that transformer is SS, the output is still a  transformer!105 as DF is mod...

Tube Amps have low DF so cables won't change the sound a bit.If the cables are meant to end up with a tube Amp. don't bother at all.

Mr. estereoEven though the calc. apply, I would not bother to invest in thick cable in your surround speakers with "Long Cables".As 25' is a significant length, you will need way thicker cables than #8 AWG for that distance. It may also cost you a... 
Same Wiring of Speakers and Speaker Cables
What is the right speaker cable for you?How do you know, what cable the speaker maker put in? Did you opened the speaker and you didn't liked what you have found in it?A speaker cable, should be calculated, by the Amp's DF specs and the cable's re...

Mr. keppertup Thanks for sharing your impressions from your upgrade.I’m happy that it works for you.The increase is not linear all the way. it looks more like a Capacitor Charging Graph: http://www.learningaboutelectronics.com/Articles/Capacitor-c...

Mr.  jollygreenaudiophile2You quote my say, no comments and than you have a say that is irrelevant. Nice trying. No big deal.
