No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need

Mr. keppertup

Thanks you. Thanks you again.

Could you please help me out with some supporting information? I posted just above this:

When the time will come, to share your impression here, please do it in some ordinary way:

> Specify your Amp and speakers: Pass Lab 250.5 with Magnepan III's.

> Specify the previous cable that was replaced: just gauge and length. (?)

Please avoid brand and model. Thanks.

You may add how much that cable cost… (?)

> Specify your new cable: gauge and length. If other than was: 0 AWG, 5 feet long

recommended, please notice what was recommended too. (if different from  0 AWG, 5 feet long)

Would you please be kind to do that for me? Thanks.

I’m really happy that it worked for you. I didn’t say it won’t work for none coil loaded speakers, I just claimed it is different. On the theory and the drowing board, it is.
Some pictures of your cables would be more than welcome. Thanks.

For the record:
> The same results would apply if you turn the cables direction! :-)
> The same results would apply if you say they were cryogenic treated! :-)
> If you make another set, at the time this set "goes through" a so called burn in, and then after some time you will connect the new cable, it will sound exactly the same. No "burn-in" excuse is required when the results are: 

jaw dropping. 

It sounds good from the first moment. Trust me on that.

Wish you lots of hours playing your music and discover tones of new sound bit’s you never know it’s there.

As I said, you were listening to only some of your system potential before. Now you are listening to ALL of it.

It is not only your ears that approve it, but some engineering calculations, I stand behind it. Something that never been done before with most systems. Welcome to the club. Thanks you again.

For all other, who are yet in the process getting there, it might be a nice clue of what is comming at you, when you are ready. God bless you.

"I’ll do say, that there is a no much sense in matching a Thiel CS2.4 to a Manley NEO 250!

https://www.manley.com/hifi/n250/
That is a 4 ohms speaker and goes down to 2.73 ohms at 600Hz ! with 88dB/w/m SPL. one of the most difficult to drive.
I hope you enjoy the Manley NEO 250 1.5% THD and its 14.8 DF vs. 2.73 ohms...
In your case the cables are the last to worry about."

This simply proves my point. You know NOTHING about anything with regard to HiFi. But keep on plugging your 0 AWG battery cables, which also proves my point.

Don't worry Mr. stevecham. It's all good.

There is a say in Russia, that the local made shoes are very good.
Until you buy an imported brand...(I'm not from Russia!)

 

Dear Professor (b4ic),

I replaced DIY 5 foot 16 AWG silver ladder line.  Have previously used a variety of commercial Helix design, solid flat wire and braided multi-stranded wires insulated and in multiple sleeves.  Alll 12 AWG, 5 to 8 foot length.  Costs ranged from $400 to $2,000.

Don’t know how to send you a picture of assembled cable.  Instructions please.

Best regards

Mr. keppertup

Thank you aging for your sharing.

My two cents on your brave act:

Those were the best $45 (+$12) you ever invested in your audio system or ever spent.

You talk of over $2,000 spent on speaker cables with no much audible benefit. Then spend $45 and : "The results are stunning".

For the record, your cables been improved by X20. I assume that your description of the new sound tells the rest of the story…

For that reason, a silver cable of the same gauge, would add 5.4% over the x20 times you already have. It will be un noticed, but cost way more than $45.-

Thanks in believing me. Many didn't. Some of the none believers, you can find on a  parallel threads, getting banana to keep spreading their outrageous believes.

Just imagine, what you were missing till this thread.

People always under estimated the speaker cables. It was something between getting a wire from the cheapest spool in the shop, or investing big in cables that never delivered.

I wish this change will spread. I hope that audiophiles will realize the truth behind this subject. I regrat all the ignorance, urban legends and tones of money thrown out for absolutely nothing!

Those, who invested big in their system, deserve to enjoy all that goodness. Mostly, because they never did till now!

Many keep upgrading, at a time they have the right sound system but the wrong speaker cable. They keep spending at a time they are only $45 from accomplishment.

I hope that your description will help others to do a step toward the right speaker cable and join the experience. There is little to lose and a lot to gain.

I'm sorry for all those who tried fighting this idea, for no particular reason, rather than give it a descent try.

By the time we gather more impressions, it will be a weak up call for them, to do some changes with their attitude.

 

Be careful with the volume, ribbon tend to clip at high volume. It can also clip your amp.

If you like it loud and live like, try a Klipsch Horn. I own a pair of Forte –II. Nothing I ever heard, can reproduce a drum cession live like. The Forte –II does.

Thanks agin.
