If I wanted to make my own speaker cables, is this a good choice for wire?

@tubeguy76 - 2 x 16 gauge would make a good signal conductor for a speaker cable. But for the neutral I would recommend a 12 gauge wire.

Take a look at this thread - it’s very educational with lots of great DIY ideas for cables/conncetors that outperofrm most of the top brands available today

DIY Helix Cables

I use these cables at present and I am extremely happy with them

• superb clarity and details
• very fast dynamics
• excellent imaging

If you are going to the trouble of building your own cables then go for the Helix - the extra effort is well worth it.

BTW duelund it very good, but there is better wire available - just depends on your listening preferences

• Duelund is mellow wire
• UP-OCC wire is more dynamic and more detailed
• UP-OCC Silver is extremely detailed and provides superb clarity and imaging

It really depends on your listening preferences

@digsmithd  Thanks.  I'm about to make another paid with Bananas.  I like the crimp style connectors and have settled on:

Took me awhile to find these.  Might try a drop of solder after the crimp. 

Yeah i have set 8/not in use? ...too tough to crimp for me...solder good idea.
