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?

Trying to straighten out audiophiles is like trying to herd cats. That’s why these cable threads have been going on for forty years with pretty much the same results. I reckon if networks was the answer every cable manufacturer and his brother would be using networks. Audiophiles tend to have very strong preconceived notions of wires and cables. Even the OP has a few.

mostly due to trolls that ruin the experience. Moronicity is seldom humorous. Tedious, definitely.

@ddjr - it is entirely possible with your gear that you do not hear any difference. With other gear you might.
ieales, If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen. Don’t you have an opinion on cables? I didn’t think so. just a lot of hot air. That would make you the troll. Moroncity indeed.
Music is defined as the sound a musical instrument or speaker makes.
It depends on who makes a definition.
