@dgarretson .. what is the braided copper for? Is that one of your conductors? Or are you dividing the ribbons into the pos and neg conductors and using the braided copper as a shield?
What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??
I am curious what speaker cables made a big "jaw dropping difference" in the sound quality of your current speakers. What most impressed you about the difference; that is, overall musicality, tighter, deeper bass, midrange clarity and soundstage depth, etc.etc.
Keep the price of the speaker cables chosen or auditioned at between $800- $1000 or from $1000-$1500. Was the cable bought new or used??
Thank you, SJ

@toddverrone .. the whole project didn’t take much time at all. I used 16 gauge wire and 14 gauge jacketing. The wire threaded easily enough and just needed to be guided deliberately. Here’s a link to my blog post about the build where you’ll find a couple of links to exactly what & where I purchased the materials I used: https://melvinsfoolishthings.blog/2017/03/20/loudspeaker-cables/ |
Aauugh, I just had to read this thread. I have a pair of Morrow SP-7's on the way and now I read all these glowing reviews of the Clear Day's. I moved up to the 7's from the 5's on a trade-up deal. I think I'll let the Morrow's burn in good then pick up a pair of Clear Day's and sell which ever I don't like. The good thing about cables in this price range is that it's actually affordable to try different brands. Anyone care to comment on the SP-7's? |
Buy fine round dead soft silver (not sterling) from riogrande.com, stick it in a thick untreated cotton rope, add TechFlex on outside and don't use termination for speakers or amps. Bigger is better! Don't go thinner than 12 gauge - 10 or 8 gauge is better - depending on budget. Make sure you're buckled up, when you turn on your system ;-) Decibell |
