| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mr. grannyring What equaipment are you going to connect, and how long your cable is going to be?I’ll repeat my say: not all need a 0 AWG! some don’t need a thick cable at all, some do, some need it even thicker. It better be calculated.It would be... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Going back for a minute to the JPS cable Add.: http://www.jpslabs.com/aluminata.shtmlEven though it is a power cable, they state: 60A and 14,000W and 250A and 48,000W. Absolutly impressing...By the AWG standard (https://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Si... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Sorry, I have no picture of that taken.I'll try to explain.The ideais to use a short 8 AWG (the thickest wire that can fit into the banana plug) that is going between the banana plug and the 0 AWG cable.As I said in one of my posts, an 0 AWG can n... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Just seen this add. on this site:http://www.jpslabs.com/speakercable.shtmlFor jps cables.Not a word on any technical data: resistance, for what equipment they are good for...They do talk about a lot of power (Watts) or current (Amp’s) and a shield... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mr. DillThis banana plug is as good as it gets. A friend who was a QA at a large hi-tech firm checked the subject and ended up with those over all others.The tip is making a way better contact (felxibility and surface ares), than other methodes. I... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mr. douglas_schroeder I oppened this disscusion on speaker cables. Please let's keep it clean from other cables. Thanks.What I think about the subject?The power cord has no significance at all in Audio.It is the last 3’ you tackel, while many are ... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mr. Dill, this is not the one you address (Amazone). It is a good 0 AWG cooper wire.I’ll tell you a secret: All cables are having a nylon sleve over, for a reason: So no one can see what is beneath it.No one will cut a cable that cost’s a leg and ... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Regarding Mr. Dill’s Q: " What about a double run of 0 AWG wire?Should be twice as good ...."The low cable resistance has an optimum value. After that, getting more gauge, would have little or no benefit (sonic) but will cost way more, as more mat... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Pictures:A 4 AWG connected to a B&W802D:https://imgur.com/a/42eh3h1The other end is connected to a 250W PASS LAB power Amp.made for a friend in Israel:https://imgur.com/a/LF0vyGZA set of 0 AWG cables before shipping to my friend in Canada:http... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need HiI would aspect cables maker to specify:1. The actual cooper gauge.2. The cable length (feet or meter).3. It’s actual resistance (for a single and for a pair (Red+Balck) in Ohms.I already made cables of 4 AWG (3m) and 0 AWG (2.5m). Also has the t... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need 0 guage (AWG) wires are difficult to work with. They are thick. Too thick to solder, as by the time the tin melts, the isolator also gets burned. It is no longer as good for isloating, it exposes the cooper to oxidize and look bad. The cable itsel... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mr. sleepwalker65The answer is with the Damping Factor (DF) of your amplifier. There are some exceptions, if he speakers are not coil loaded (ribbon, electrostatic etc'.) or if the Amp. is a class-D type. But most, use a A-B class amp with ordin... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mr. cakyolAll cooper for electrical use is 99.5% pure. Try to get one with less!Most cables are using wires as thick as 12-14 AWG because that’s the thicker they can fit into their banana plug (Not a very sintific one). All qualities they say they... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Mr. sleepwalker65 your math is wrong. The cable is fighting the power (P) or the current (I). I used Klipsh speakers (8 ohms) with 99dB/w/m SPL with a Caver 250W amp. that played at 0.001W-1W as loud as it should and still a thicker cable improv... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need For the guy with the Opera Consonance Cyber 800, even thou you have monoblks, because it is tube (very bad DF) and no data on DF! you may use any cable over 24 AWG thick (home phone line). |
