Speaker Cable Compatibility with Amplifier and Speaker

There was a time when you could buy an upscale loudspeaker cable that would drive some amplifiers into oscillation serious enough to cause component damage.  The cable designs were suspect and to a lesser extent so were the amplifiers involved.  I don't think cables like that are readily available anymore.  I think now you can just pick a cable that uses connectors compatible with your amplifier and go from there.

A Bryston owner wrote an article about cables used in your system.. It was very interesting read.. I saved it for reference but dang I can't find it.. duh.. So  this is from memory,, all cables need to be the least resistance possible.. When it comes to capacitance and inductance -- speakers perform best where the speaker cable has very low capacitance.. Interconnects need low inductance..  Follow them rules and whatever cable you pick you should get very positive results.. If you want you can find cables with exotic materials that follow these specs for better performance.. You want to test this theory ? Buy a pair Mogami  cables.. They follow this rule, they're super cheap, and they sound great !!!

Canare is another company that uses this rule
