Help me with a speaker cable build, Ideas?


Hey, This is the OldHvyMec,

I've been watching the forums and noticed all the clammer on speaker cables.

Got any ideas on how to build a better NETWORK SPEAKER CABLE?

THIS IS NOT about, what a cable should do, BUT, about what a cable CAN DO.
I've found some interesting ideas and would like to share.

Design??? I need All the help I can get!!!!

I invite all the poor sound hounds to the BBQ. What YA GOT???

Materials, Surplus, Ideas.  Just no Yoko Ono, and be nice, I'm old. LOL

I have yet to hear the DIY cable that sounded as good as what you could buy for much less with the money spent on parts alone. Nevermind the time and wasted experiments. Good luck. You'll need it.


Get some Mogami 2477 Blue Neglex 14 guage OFC coax. Strip the ends and add your favorite bananas/spades and you will have a speaker cable as good as those costing big bucks! I had a pair connected to my KLH Nine ESL's for 20 years! Cost: $1 a foot (40 ft piece cut in half). 

I found one cable, that used 4 # 12 pure copper conductors, with a single #24 pure silver solid core wire running through the center of the 4 # 12s.
  
The # 24 was wrapped in teflon, then cotton batting, then teflon again. It was placed carefully in the middle of the 4 # 12s. The outside of the 4 # 12s was then tubed with clear thick VERY flexible tube.
The second conductor was the same, but not inside a tube. The two are then placed in an OVERSIZE clear flex tube, sealed vacuumed down and then an inert gas, (I got no idea) is sucked in via the negative chamber pressure.  Maybe it comes with a charge kit. For the 28,000.00 per cable, I'm sure it does. I would, say it's pretty easy to do. I'm gonna find out. 

I'm not to savy as to why one would be in a tube and the other one not,
maybe it's not in a shrink tube just an insulator. It had something to do with collective capacitance.  But I swear, that stinger wire is probably a way to do a frequency enhancement. Like a really REALLY good bypass
cap in a so so cap bank, of a passive XO. In this case the cap bank were of high quality too, (high strand count quality copper wire)
The ends were 2mm pin style, I got a feeling that #24 pure silver solid core was feed right in the center of that VERY special looking 2mm pin. The first part of its supper conductive life starts.

The longest cable was 2 meters, again 28,000.00 per, cable WOW

the PC were 12,000. ea USD Silver clad. OK

I bet they do sound good, REALLY good. no obvious network there, just flow like the mighty Mississippi. What ya think???
