Speaker wire... Diy?

I am new to this, so please bare with me. I always thought 12 gauge speaker wire, bare on each end, was best. But there is Kimber, Nord, etc, that seem to be incrementally better! Can I buy the components and put together my own $17000 speaker wires? If so, where can they be purchased, and which are good enough to be used? Which terminations are best for sound? Which wire? Length? Guage?

It is existence of some sort. Luckily, teleportation is your thing so you do have a quick way out. Now, it makes sense why you would be so inclined. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Have you tried them? obviously not

Many others around the world have tried them and prefer them to commercially available products.

I leave it at that :-)

It's entirely possible that the Helix cable could make someone prefer their sound. I just can't imagine what the system sounds like sans 5mH in the -ve lead.

Some eat MickieD's. No accounting for taste.
