outboard crossover users, how important is the hook up wire from crossover to drivers.
I’m running Shindo and vintage Altecs Valencias from 1968, along with a Jagusch crossover . I’m using Auditorium 23 from amp to crossover, and short runs of Duelund 16 GA (oil tinned copper) from X-over to drivers. I experimented with Belden (orange/black) in there, but preferred the organic presentation of the Duelunds. My Auditorium is 2.5 meter, and the Duelund runs are about 3 ft, so I’m keeping signal paths short. Allow me to cut to the chase...I have purchased an extra run of Auditorium, equal in length to my current pair. I am considering using one of my A23 cables in place of the Duelund. The Auditorium would have to be cut and re-terminated to make this happen. I’m also aware that this would throw an ax in their resale value, but I’m ok with that. I like the Duelund, but as the old adage goes...your system is only as good as it’s weakest link.
I agree with @johnk Mike |
The one channel option is a great idea. However, the A23 stock cable (and most all other twisted strand cables) will not allow me to reach the woofer and horn. So the cable would need some surgery regardless.
Not sure if I’m understanding you johnk...? Current configuration is. Auditorium 23 from Shindo monos to Werner Jagusch crossover. The X-over sits on the floor under my speaker...Then there are 4 single wire runs of Duelund running from crossover to each speaker. I use bare wire runs on the Duelund...A23 is standard banana configuration. |
