| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Cardas and other quality companies make them. Here is a very nice one from Cardas. http://cardas.com/cab.php | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Nice choices. Let us know. I saw those same spades and they should works nicely. If to big or bulky to fit, then you can buy spade to banana high quality connectors. | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need May I ask from who and what did you order? Fully assembled? Can you provide a link and how they will be terminated? Thanks. | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need I like the idea of direct connection much better with high quality connectors. The resulting sound will be better. The idea of splitting the cable into two equal portions and terminating with a spade and banana for direct connection to the binding... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need I did find 5AWG high end bananas. I would like to try the 3/0 cables the OP suggested based on my 20 foot runs and gear. I may try 0 AWG. Problem is the cost to try is $400. I like the sound of stranded tinned copper wire sold by folks like Duelun... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Connecting the shield to the source or sending end is to reduce noise. Any noise picked up by the shield won’t be carried over to the next component. | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Yes, the terminating the 0-3x0AWG conductors will be the challenge in these DIY efforts. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Yes shield xlr. When shielding RCA interconnects I think they sound best with the shield connected at one end only, not both ends. However, whether you connect the braided copper shield to one end, both ends, or no ends, I find the shield does imp... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Thanks @taras22 . I find unshielded ICs to sound more open and natural. I will build a set of double. | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Frank in not crazy or hearing things. Applying this paste to all crossover connections as well as internal speakerwire to driver connections does wonderful things to the sound. It works so wonderfully that it does truly amaze. No joke. It takes... | |
| Anyone have feedback on Audiogon's Insider membership? Well here is the real plan based on my speculation. The regular forum we all use is going away at some point in the future. As the forum becomes more moderated we will need to pay for the moderators. In addition, Agon now has another income sour... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Without trying to read through this entire thread is the SM simply building a set of ICs with the internal wiring reflecting two individual ICs with one set of connectors. For example, a twisted pair RCA IC build would simply have two twisted pair... | |
| Anyone have feedback on Audiogon's Insider membership? I guess the more I think about it I do find the ads annoying and too busy looking..... | |
| Anyone have feedback on Audiogon's Insider membership? I guess I don’t see the point of it. We already have forums. The ads don’t bother me as they are always around the border and out of my sight as I focus on Agon listings or forums. | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic This is the best use I have found thus far. Biggest improvement. Wait for the 3-4 day mark and bam! Don’t forget the the back of your drivers ..... the tabs that connect to the internal wire runs. |
