anyone know a good connection for silver plated ofc two strand cable?

Good info, Nick.
What are the pro's/con's of using 2 conductor vs. 4 conductor cable? Is there anything?

i suppose you could double helix a pair for one signal, and then another pair for the other. I dont know if it would actualy help or be noticable.
but it makes for a nice fat cable and you can be sure there is plenty of surface area for the signal to travel through

finished product.
the xlrs are shielded w/a nickel/silver braid, then the teflex over that.
the speaker cables are in shotgun config, two seperate 2 strand braids of silver plate OFC 14awg loaded into the teflex, and then seperated on one end for double binding posts, and braided together on the other end for a single channel output from an amp. Cool!
:)
not sure how they sound, they came out too short for me to use in the main system.
