No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need

It is all little game and it is harmless. If it helps someone, great. If it does not, so what. It is a little unusual of an approach, but enough people accepted the challenge so it may not be that wrong of an approach after all. Little by little, people started being interested and trying to do what b4icu suggests. It seems that some had success. That is good enough, I think.

Mr. dill

I'm happy you are back. For a little while, everyone was pro and positive, being busy with their own DIY… I kind of missed the pickles, those who are going against my idea in all possible way and also trying to get the knowhow for free.

Why do you think I should give my formula to you and others?

I have a feeling that some of our pickles are planted represents fom firms or dealers from the cable industry. Having me spreading the idea, without them having the formula, is a big concern. I can understand that.

So far, I helped all who asked for.

Never said NO!

I Did it for free.

So no one can blame me of anything. Some guys already trying to get themselves the proposed cable. One already did. I would kindly advice you to read what he had to say. With some more patients, more will get to the finish line and be kind to share. I would predict that their new sound will be also way better than they had before.

The thing is "Big" because the speaker's cable industry kept you all from accomplish the full potential of your sound system. Systems that cost in a range of $5,000.- to $250,000.- and from this reason you enjoyed only a part (sometimes as small as 20%!) of that investment rather than all of it. As they spent that kind of money, they think that they have a high-end sound. Well if you read the first sharing on this thread, you may understand what the sound was before and after he replaced his cables. It reminds me the sharing of my friend who got a set from me and I posted his impressions. You can connect the dots. A clear picture will unfold here pretty soon. A beautiful one.

For asking the formula, in some aggressive and ugly ways, I wonder if you believe this is the right approach to get it? The funny thing is that all the pickles so far, showed very poor understanding in this subject.

My cables arrived today. They're beasts!

As suspected the forks won't sit in binding posts without an adaptor. I'm currently using banana plugs. Here's an image of the before and after cables: https://imgur.com/a/De0LmuG (credit card for scale).

I hooked them up and there's a definite improvement. The sound is more transparent. I need to listen more but I'm happy with this investment. I'm going to replace the bananas with some bolt on ones: https://uk.farnell.com/staubli/22-1053/banana-plug-50a-4mm-screw-m4/dp/1085560, that'll give me a better connection. The current plugs are on tight, but it'll be nice to get a stronger hold. The stiffness of the cables means that there's actually very little weight on the binding posts as the cables stand up straight from the floor.

Thank you b4icu. As you said to me, where else can I get that level of upgrade for that money.

I'm interested in getting another set for my centre now.
