DIY interconnect just arrived ~~navships~~, true High Fidelity

PTFE= Teflon
OK that explains why cutting the sleeve off the THHN Home Depot wire was so dif with a  new razor blade. I was like , what is this stuff. 
Tougher than leather. 

MOZATFAN teflon is good i bought navships orange and black 12 awg m22759/11-12 is the best for speaker wire if you use the helix geometry it will be great google helix geometry i made mine low cost 12-14awg sound the same to me i went 12awg i have 2-amps one 760 watts one 250 watts if not helix geometry run the cables 4'' apart bare wire tined is the best way no brass junk

OP, I admire your honesty. My old Journeyman was from, New Orleans’

I heard you on the video, it brought back a lot of memories of me and him crawdaddin’. We would come home with a 5 gallon bucket of water bugs, another of catfish, and another of asparagus. One of the best Master Mechanics I ever met. 6th grade education... But had his Masters through Mitchell. He was also our arm wrestling champ..Teamsters...
Man could he drink... WOW..

He built our shop valve amps out of 2 old Philco automotive valve tuners and a bunch of surplus Navy tinned copper wire for speaker wire.. I think they were 2-3 watts each.. he used a few to get the two.. Speakers were pole style horns, you know like in M.A.S.H. 4077 and ol Radar giving the Updates, via the stick RCA mic..

10 times the cost, 10 times better? Have to be pretty bad cable to start with. ay!! It is a journey when we hear that big of an improvement, with a cable change.. I’ve been VERY happy with a few of my own cable concoctions.. Yes it can get spendy to get what you want, with DIY.
The learning curve can be expensive..
BUT if your learning, like fiddling, have the skills, and patience, have fun..
If not, best to buy someone else’s stuff.

Seems like you found a gem. If you know that a 12 ga. copper wire works for you.
Don't be surprised if it doesn't for someone else...
There is a lot of STUFF in some of the network cable with 2-9 different conductors...
Very complex, crap for the most part.. GREAT speakers don't need high $$$$ cables, very simple. 
I found that out 25 years ago, and prove it EVERY DAY...

The speaker placement though.. come forth... from the wall..LOL.  2-3-4-5 feet, at least 2-4 from the side walls...spread them apart, toe them in. That will amaze you...A tape measure, a square... placement, don’t cost a thing...

Better is better.... SG1 "Upgrades", great one...

Time to eat some plums and feed the chickens.....yup yup...

Regards..

@ ditusa
Yes I just ordered his silcer coated copper 12 ga for speaker use,,,not sure if it is **helix**, not sure what that concept is all about,,helix,,will look it up, and ask John about your code number.
Brass tips on high quality speaker wire,, makes no sense,,just go direct, bare ends. 
Which is why i bought pure copper IC's ends ,,maybe the copper ends are not the issue in my DIY,,its the super thick cable at $17/ft,, ,,might ship those ends to navships, , have him dismatle the IC's and  get his opinion.
Just curious,,, not trying to salvage,, as i am very satisfied with his IC's. Upgrade to what? I am not seeking ~~utopiia ICs's~,, not after that $350 DIY disaster. 

@ oldhvmec
Yeah this high tech conductor for my DIY has like 2-4 conductors,,, = trash. 
= 1 lone high tech wire is superior to 4 low grade wire,,is what i learned. 
Yes these navships are gems, and surprised me, in further comparisons with the cheap generics. 
Instead of usinga   reference cd, thought I'd usea   poor sound cd, such as Jonny Winter Live And from mid 790's,  Sure enough the vanships allows more current (high db level) to pass through and not as compressed, = superior sound stage/. , as you say,if others read my comments, and add navships to their collection of IC cables with the hopes of  making same gaisn in sonics as i am hearing,,, they may be in fora  disappointment,... 
Just had all compnents modded with new caps, new IC's  were like the finishing touch, allowing the caps , Descrete opamps,  to channle through freely, /less restriction.
