I would expect stranded wire to have some kind of instabilities owing to the vibrations inside a cabinet. My vote is for solid wire, if you're concerned about this at all.
Which wire for internal recabling my speakers?
Hi, after changing some resistors and caps with better quality once in my speakers Opera Gran Callas (see the relative post here
I’ve decided to put crossover outside loudspeakers and to hang up it with rubber bands in order to decouple it from the floor.
To do that I have to recable with new internal wiring my loudspeakers, because original once are too short.
First of all I think of Neotech soct 12 and 14 awg (first for woofers and MIDs and the last for tweeters), it’s a pure occ copper solid core in teflon. It’s considered one of the best cables but.... I suspect it to be too analytical and on the dry side, without richness in harmonics.
On the other side once of the best cable, as for its reputation regarding richness, is the duelund DCA GA but... I suspect it could be not so extended on highs and bass, and that it could be on the flabby side, a bit too slow on the attacks, not reactive.
So I’d like to use a cable that has natural timbre, rich in harmonics but at the same time fast and powerful.
Anyone have experience with Jupiter wire? Especially with Jupiter 4n solid core cooper in cotton or with Jupiter copper tinned multistrand?
How Jupiter wire stands between above Neotech and Duelund wires?
Thanks

Thanks, almost missed that. Grunter, look through the pics, rubber bands are a good cheap isolation solution. They do however not last very long. Over time they stretch and break. You have the right idea, just be a lot better with springs. Nobsound are cheap and highly effective. Townshend Pods are a lot better. Second to last picture shows mine on a bench, same thing is inside my Moabs and works great.
https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 If you elect to go Nobsound I suggest hot glue individual springs under your crossover board. Experiment first on a bench to find how many and where, then hot glue in place. Will only need at most 4 per board. This will leave you with the Nobsound footers and enough springs to do another component or two. |
