Double up on Kimber Kable 4TC??

So what is the correct way to "double up" a cable for biwiring? Do you run both positives down one run of 4tc and the both negatives down a second run of 4tc, or do you run positive & negative for the woofer down one run of 4tc, and positive & negative down for the tweeter down the second run of 4tc?

Todster,

The latter is the right way to biwire, because the main reason to biwire is to separate the highs and lows. I should not that I was not biwiring. I was simply doubling up 4tc to increase the aggregate gage of my wire.

2chnlben,

I am happy with my homegrown audio silver lace, but if I were to buy a new interconnect today I would try something with Eichman plugs. I have not tried them, but their principle makes sense. There was also a recent discussion in Audioasylum for an interconnect without connectors, which seemed very interesting. The idea was to attach the negative wire with an 0 ring.

behnegan,
I recently heard that the Homegrown Audio Silver Lace is excellent. My system tends to be on the bright side, I wonder what that IC would do, since it is silver??

Todster,

Each "single" run of Kimber 4tc is actually one pair, with the positive and negative braided together. To double up, take two single runs (2 pair) and twist the all of the positive ends together and all of the negative ends together, then connect to the top; do the same for the bottom. You'll actually have four single runs (4 pair) in total, for each speaker.

2chnlben: My experience with Homegrown Silver Lace is that it can work well reasonably well with tubed gear but i personally would NOT recommend it for use with SS gear at all. If you are having problems with excess brightness now, this cable will not help and may actually make things worse. Sean

Thanks Sean. That's what I thought might be the case. I have been using some older AQ (Lapis). I imagine that the Lapis may be contributing to the bright side. You've been most helpful with your advice and suggestions regarding IC's. I took your advice and checked in to the VH Pulsar. I haven't made a decision yet. I did email Chris, who suggested that his IC's would not add any brightness. I'm still looking for some good deals on used Audience, Coincident and Music Metre. I think I should stay away from silver. From what I've been reading, the VH Pulsar are an excellent performer for the price. I took your advice and threw some cheap Monster in for now. I can hear the difference between the Lapis. While the Lapis may be a little edgy, the Monster seems slower and slightly mushy in the bass.
