Cardas GR Biwired to double binding post
My experience is stacking sounded better then using one of the biwire sets.More powerful bass and greater stage size.This was not cardas wire however.Simply run one set and put electrical tape over the spades not in use. Then stack and compare the...

Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire?
Gauge of coarse is not the only factor. The cable is wonderful for the money. 2 meters is $30. It is a very good option to consider. DH Labs is also good. I have owned both.
