I use CAT5 cables in my sytem and am very happy with the results with my 802 series 3's. I used the Chris VenHaus design and Belden 1585a cable that he recommends. I run my speakers bi-amped and used 9 twisted pairs for the mid/tweet and 27 for the lows.
DIY Cat 5 speaker cables....
Hello all you fellow audiophiles, I Want to know if you think its a good idea to make some DIY cat 5 like the chris VenHaus ones. I heard that they have a large capacitance. And can cause an amp to ru hot or oscillate. I have a NAD C-370 and i dont think that i would have any poblems, but i just want to make sure. Also what do you think of this DIY cable? I would make a 10-12' Pair and i dont wanna spend a 100 bucks and hours making these is they wont work. Thanks all
