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.

b4icu,
a). All our high-end cables are 2 metres in length with no spec on the gauge or size of the cables.
b).  SAM’s Kharma retail price USD8000 for 2M pair.
       JOHN’s Ansuz Speakz C2 retail price USD8400 for 2M pair.
        KHIAK ‘s Kharma retail price USD17000 for 2M pair.
c)     I have pictures but do not know how to post it. 

b4icu,
I do not have the imgur software, please update the spreadsheet on our behalf. Thanks 

Mr. khiak

Thanks.

1. The imgur software:

Click this: https://imgur.com/a/9IPINRA (the updated spreadsheet is there).

Click the green box on left top of the screen that say: New post.

On the window that opens, drag a picture. It will upload to the site.

On the right top of the screen, an HTTP address line is created, next to the button: Copy.

Copy it to your post.

Every time someone clicks it here, a new window will open and your uploaded picture will show up. Repeat the process for more pictures.


2. The prices on the old cables (that been replaced by the DIY) are very high. It’s sum is over $30,000.- were replaced by $300.-!!!

I assume that a US $8,000.- US $8,400.- and US $17,000.- are what some industry representatives here used to call Hi-end speaker cables. Call it whatever you like…I call it robbing $30,000.- from people, by taking advantage of their innocent desire to get a better sound out of their system.

This revelation of yours (impression vs. cable value) is exactly what my claim was.

Reading their adv. On site: https://audiofederation.com/brands/kharma/kharma-price-list

And https://blinkhighend.com/shop/cables/ansuz-speakz-speaker-cables/

No technical data at all! Some mambo jumbo on technology, some "purity" crap, "one-material conductor-termination-circuit" superiority (?) and a staggering price.

Calculations: None

Fit to customer requirements: None

Technical data for a skilled audiophile to pick the right one: None

Results: 

Over $30,000.- of cost to be beaten by some understanding (in electronics) and $300.- of materials cost.

Would replacing the Furez connectors with Furutech connectors improve the sound quality?

Cannot find the green box PAGE that say NEW POST to post the picture, I am not savvy in this, sorry.

Mr. khiak

I'm not giving up on you. Let's do it step by step:

Look at this: https://imgur.com/a/OimyIhJ

It shows you the screen when you enter the "imgur" site. Look at the top (header) left side. There is a green area with a cloud icon and text: New post. Click it.

Than a new window is opened: https://imgur.com/a/wVEylZH

Drag the picture you want to upload into to the dotted area with the giraff picture. After the upload finish, you will get again a screen like this: https://imgur.com/a/OimyIhJ

At the right side there is a black background with a URL address and a button that says "copy". Push the copy or mark the URL address and when marked, use the Ctrl+C to copy.

Than go to the post entry of Audiogon, at the place you want to have the URL placed and use the Ctrl+V to paste the URL address in your post.

I need to see what you did with your DIY endings and the banana plug you used to answer your question. I still stay with my old recommendation to use the Nakamichi plugs:

They do excellent contact, they are very easy to work with, they are firm and can get up to 8 AWG wire.
