@uberwaltz Using Transparent Super Gen 5 Balanced for source and Plus Bi wires for speakers. The new series outperforms the previous Ultra Level cables I was using.
Speaker wire... Diy?
I am new to this, so please bare with me. I always thought 12 gauge speaker wire, bare on each end, was best. But there is Kimber, Nord, etc, that seem to be incrementally better! Can I buy the components and put together my own $17000 speaker wires? If so, where can they be purchased, and which are good enough to be used? Which terminations are best for sound? Which wire? Length? Guage?

sleepwalker A lot of people misunderstand where the concept of cable directionality originated. It was with balanced cables in pro audio and broadcast applications. You see, the concept is all about preventing ground loops in shielding whilst maintaining effective protection from interference. A true shield can only be connected to one ground point else it be rendered ineffective by conducting current due to a ground loop. Cable directionality was always given as the direction of signal chain flow, from source to destination, with the source being the defacto ground for shield. >>>>I’m not terribly surprised people don’t know what “controlled for directionality” means. When I use the term I am referring to unshielded cables, you know, like Anti Cables, which are obviously unshielded, and many other cables. Shielded cables are also controlled for directionality in many cases. Follow? But you’re right, a lot of people misunderstand where the concept of directionality originated. 🤗 |
