Thanks glupson for seeing that, but is that the really good copper? Some cables are described in more elaborate ways . . . can I remember? . . . “Oxygen free” . . . Something like “free strand” . . . “Cardas copper, the best quality copper on the planet!” I guess I should not just want copper but some form of super-copper?
Chuck, that is probably a good suggestion, to look for used cable for sale. I take it that cables don’t decline in performance with age? I recall your stating that cables are important and should be about 20% of the money spent on your entire system. I only have about $7,000 in my system, and only 5% of that was cables. To get to 20%, I would spend about $1600 on cables for a total system cost of about $8000 to get to that ratio. I could go the DIY route to save money, but I don’t trust myself to not screw it up somehow.
