Silver Banana Plugs

Why doesn't Stage 3 Concepts have a website? I ordered literature from them about 2 years ago, but never have spoken with anyone in person (they don't answer their phone, it's voice mail). Jim, the next time you speak with them, tell them they need a website.

Dragon is all silver, and is 10 gauge per pole.

MMMMMMM, TEN GAUGE.....ARRRRRRRGHARGHGGGH..... Hey Carl, how does that measurement work? For Example, If I have a 15 gauge cable, (AQ SA-40), and I add another 15 gauge cable, (SA-40 or CV-4) what is the gauge of the resulting speaker cable?? would it be half? I dont think so, because 1 10 gauge strand is LOTS bigger than 2 20 gauge strands. How do it work???

Gthirteen, how've you been? I can pass along a chart to you that lists wire gauges from 0 down to 40, if you'd like. 15 gauge wire is 1.448 mm2(or 0.057 inch2). Now just perform a simple area calculation. To find out what two 15 gauge conductors would yield, square 1.448, and multiply it by two(because you have two of these conductors), then take the square root. So, two 15 gauge wires put together would give you a 12 gauge(2.048 mm2 or 0.0806 inch2) composite.

If I remember correctly, a rough guide is if you double up on two of the same gage conductors you drop the gage number by 3, ie two 24 gage conductors equal approx 21 gage and so on. Correct me if I remember wrongly! Richard, www.vantageaudio.com
