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

@vonhelmholtz 

I found some conservations about it and was wondering if it was still viable.

@mitch2

Sure, my setup is a Rogue Cronus Magnum 3, Chord Qutest, iFi Zen Stream and the Omega Super 3 High Output XRS speakers mentioned earlier.

I don't have any specific goals in mind, I'm just looking to build some cables for something to do.

I would think a thicker gauge

speaker wire, 12 gauge, wouldn’t

hurt you.  Good luck.

Louis loaned me a pair of 3HO XRS’s so I know exactly how these speakers sound. Those Omega’s are electrostatic fast, hyper detailed and downright spooky how great they sound with good recordings. But they’re unforgiving on lesser sources.

Acoustic Zen Hologram II speaker cables tamed that to a degree. Other Omega owners I’ve chatted with seem to agree that a thick high quality copper cables work best.

I opted for his Modern CAMs with alnico drivers. A much smoother ride for me overall but still darn spooky good. My Sboosted Qutest is always set to warm/non-cutoff filter.

Perfect as is.

I ran this cable against the Silversmith Fidelium and not much in it at all sound wise. Silversmiths had slight edge. Factor in the cost though and Duelund is the hands down winner.

12 guage makes the sound bassier/heavier, and is not as well suited IMHO
