After my move, I need to get some new speaker cables, perhaps anyone knows a cost effective routes for DIY?? I used 10-base T cable in the past and it sounded pretty good, but I was wondering if anyone had other suggestions?? I'm refusing to buy the 60 gauge monster cable on principle.
qick and easy is anything above 14 ga. with a high strand count
I bought a couple hundred feet of the canare speaker cable....see the playback section for part numbers, relatively inexpensive (.41 a ft I believe) added on banana clips and the result was a HUGE improvement from the crap I had before...especially in the bass response, much more defined, rather than muddy as before!
If you go to any hi-fi store, they will likely have speaker cable in bulk as well as connectors that you can purchase. A lot of their markup comes from the labor cost of cold-welding the connectors on.
I have some Vampire Wyre at $4 a foot and silver spades as connectors that sound great. The spades provide a tighter connection from the wire to the post than bare wire or banana clips.
yah ive got the spades on my stuff too (low end monster... rather put my money elsewhere for now) i like the spades a lot personally
