No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
This looks promising for those wanting to try the large gauge wire DIY path;https://www.rockvilleaudio.com/12-feet-r0g100red/ Like Geoff and Wolf I have recently gone back to my solid core cables.  Not AQ but Harmonic Technology that uses multiple...

Anyone here actually tried using jumper cable wire as speaker cable......if so, how did it compare with other speaker cables you have used?

Maybe a fun DIY project in my spare time would be to order this;https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0167K786A/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B0167K786A&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=f52e26da-1287-4616-824b-efc564ff75a4&pf_rd_r=83DVKJH6N...

To OP: Aside from all the posturing on this thread, I am curious about a couple of your ideas but have a couple of questions.1. Where is this "formula"?  I went back through two weeks of posts and still could find no formula, just multiple comment... 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
After reading from all here who find that cables need “burned-in” I am sure glad I purchased a Cable Cooker years agoI just condition them for 3-5 days (depending on the cable) play them in my system for about a day and then I don’t have to worry ...

What's the record for most posts removed from a thread?I never lost one until this thread.Good thing they don't bump them for spelling and grammar.

What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems?
Hi Steve, I am using the tX-USBultra with the sMS-200ultra endpoint and the sPS-500 power supply that powers them both.  So far I am switching between the two USB cables I have here, either the Curious or the Totaldac USB cable.  Both sound good.I... 
Duleland break in time
@twoleftears Partsconnexion's ad says they are made from "Gold-Plated Copper" but without specifics it is not clear whether this is actual copper or an alloy containing copper.  I could not find out any more on their website but the items in their...

@grannyring Thanks for the recommendations.  I own some of the Furez connectors and they do accommodate really big wire.  They are said to be pure copper and would work for the two 10 awg WE wires, but for some reason I like the sound of Furutech'... 
Duleland break in time
Thanks for the tips grannyring.  After considering, I plan to make two separate star-quad sets so I will not need to terminate 4x10 awg wires together at the amp end.  One set will need to stack so at least one set will need bananas at the amp end...

So I was able to try more cable comparisons this weekend.  I limited the comparisons to the tinned, stranded, copper Duelund and Western Electric (i.e., WE) wires....Nos. 3,4,5, and 6 on my list three posts down.No. 6 was very nice, as I remember ...

Variety day today. Since I have been auditioning different speaker cables this past week I have been having fun running through some of the usual suspects that I am quite familiar with, so I can zero in on which cables I like best. The playlist ha...

@b4icu Sorry you missed some of this tread, explaining that every amp-speaker has its optimum cable, by engineering calculation.You are in fact correct, I previously had only read parts of the thread, so I went back and read the whole thing. Betwe...

@b4icu Wouldn’t you feel better if you would have a blue print or a formula in hand, that would specify by engineering methods what is the optimum cable that customer really needs?When you find one then by all means clue us in.  If everyone had th...
