Seems to be the case. Shorter/thicker generally gets the nod. Not sure how much audible difference there would be. That said, just did a quick search for "0" AWG OFC wire, pretty cheap, especially by A-phile standards. Seems to be popular for car installs. Guess it can't hurt to try.......Not sure if terminations for that stuff would fit standard binding posts or strips, but I'm sure there are methods..............Any non-audiophile would surely think you'd lost your senses seeing battery cable hanging off your speakers. Lots of things in this hobby are/seem crazy, but if they work for you in your system, I guess it's not crazy........I might try it. Looks doable for less than $100.
No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
It goes back to cable manufaturars, mostly provide no relevant data! to sales and the users. None will answer this!
Whay do you think that you own now the optimal cable to your setup?
I think I've figured it out.

Mr. shadowcat2016
All with this hobby are male. If there is a women there, please be kind to step up. During my 45 with this hobby, I never had an acceptation! Well, there was one. She came for the boys that played with this audio toys. Pretty quick, she found a guy with a motorbike! Then she stopped her interest in audio.

Mr.
shadowcat2016 I'll be happy to continue this conversation with you after you get the 0 AWG cables and you find the way the get them 2x 0 AWG into a standard binding post or banana plug, in a way it will last and not be a danger of loss contact or a short circuit over an amp. channel's output! |
b4icu, Getting thicker or shorter or both, above that optimum, would cost more, but not be of any sonic benefit (improvement). If we forget about cost/benefit ratio, or the total price altogether, would getting thicker and/or shorter cable than necessary (optimum) be detrimental to the sound? I have no idea how thick 0 AWG really is but would be willing to follow shadowcat2016's example for the fun of it. |
