$10 / foot speaker wire

Lokk up my threads on DIY 6awg speaker wire form Home Depot or Lowes at $.28 per foot I compared it to AZ Holograms, Shunyata and Audience and found it matched them.

Or email me.

I'm still reading and learning on the subject, but found this from the empirical audio site (thanks, audioengr):

"Cables that connect power amplifiers to loudspeakers are in a low-impedance environment. Amplifier ouput impedances are on the order of .2 ohms for solid-state and 3 ohms for some tube amplifiers. Most speaker impedances vary
significantly, deviating from their published impedance by as much as 30 ohms.

Typical numbers are 3-4 ohms at low-frequencies and 30-50 ohms at midrange and tweeter frequencies. Speaker cables transfer power to the speakers and the currents can be high at times, approaching 20 or 30 amperes in some systems.
The requirement for power transfer means that the resistance and inductance must be low, similar to AC power transmission systems. Capacitance is of less concern since the drivers are very low impedance."

I only note that because of your posted concern about speaker cable capacitance, you may have already considered the above.

All that being said, several recording studios I've worked in recently have gone to the same cable for their control room monitoring needs - Canare star quad 4s11. Far less expensive than $10/foot, don't know if that would be something you'd want to consider or not.

Try to get your hands on ZU Wax or IBIS or Verastarr Ultra Reference, you will be pleasantly surprised, Excellent detail, solid soundstage, deep extended bass, tranparency above all else. Both offer a money back guaranty if not totaly satisfied, both offer excellent customer service. You can't lose. Happy listening.

You might want to try John Risch's design at AA to save $$.

I bought 47Labs OTA cable and am satisfied with it but it cost double of what you want.I got it used at 1/2 price.

I liked AQ cable,but not the one you mentioned.Canare did not work well in my system for IC's and I doubt I would try there speaker cable.

Bogdan might sell speaker cable and if the $$ is right I'd try it.

I would first try JR's to have a basis to work from.

I think the DH Labs stuff is a great value, and Q10 is excellent. I haven't tried Mapleshade but it looks intriguing. I also agree with the above that low impedance is critical, another reason I like Q10. Audio Advisor had AQ Granite on sale for less than half price a few weeks ago, don't know if it still is, but it is a lot better than Type 6 and a good deal at their prices.
