If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire?

It appears the marketing department has hacked into the engineering department’s technical text once again! That Cardas 101 discussed by @esarhaddon does indeed look pretty good but I do find the write-up interesting in that they call the cotton filler material the dielectric and the actual wire insulation a “poly jacket.” Mind games.

What I think you may have missed is that I was jsut giving examples and possibilities. AS far as the cotton fiber goes , you might as well go demolish some 120 year old house and rip out the electrical wiring and use that for you speaker cable. Who knows you might get some good copper that way too along with the cockroaches and other creatures that love eating cotton sheathing.

RAMM audio OCC cable. Amazing.

I get it, and no slight was intended, at all.  Cardas makes good wire. I was just pointing out the promotional rhetoric in their document that ignored the “poly” dielectric yet referred to the cotton filler as the dielectric, since most DIY’ers prefer cotton.  Marketing slight-of-hand.
