Simple rule, the thicker the better, the purer the copper the better.12/10 gauge & thicker will easily handle up to 1000 watts rms amps with no problems.

Any MULTI strand 99.5% pure copper (NOT clad) wire will work.The thicker the better.  12 gauge and thicker will easily handle up to 1000 watts/channel rms with no problems. 
20 foot long speaker cable: is it ok?
To almarg:Of course capacitance will affect the sound.  Capacitance impedance gets less with increasing frequency or capacitance = 1/jwCThis means the higher the frequencies, the more it will feel like you are SHORTING the cables.  Although in mos...

Here are the important factors in choosing a speaker (or any electrical cable):1) The dc ohmic IN PHASE resistance.  This causes voltage drop & heat.  It negatively affects the amplifier output impedance, hence the slew rate of the output.  So... 
Just an observation here, but????????
I favor suspended ones.  Its like a car.  Would u feel the bumps in a car with great suspension or with great mass but no suspension ?  The WHOLE mass resonates.

Buy one of either, then jump up & down as hard as you can right next to it while playing.  The one which is affected less is obviously the more isolated (hence better at isolation) than the other one.  I believe Linns & Thorenses are still... 
Help me make a decision! Turntable overload
Pay a lil extra and go for pro-ject classic or a used thorens td125 or td160.  
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
Dont forget the effects of seasons. As sun’s rays get more direct in the summer the subtle effects of the photons make a tremendous difference in the sound.  
A certain online retailer asked me for a review of Pangea power cords..
Can anyone explain to me how the last few feet of a power cord makes a difference when the rest of the house wiring is standard Romex copper wiring ?

Best sounding transistors
Gamut di150LE amps use just ONE pair of special veryhi power hi current (maybe for welding ?) transistors in its output stageto minimize the effects described above.The amp is quite powerful. Does anyone know of such a hi powerlinear transistor...
