What's the best type of internal wireing for use in pre-amp's ?

popmaster · 12:56 PM

Hello everyone, whats is the best type of internal cabling for PRE-AMP'S?
I've heard that 6N OR 8N copper wire - Teflon coated OR Cotton sleeve is recommended?, So Which is the best type to use in this application???,

OR has anyone got other recommendations for internal re-wiring of,
a PRE-AMP etc. Is silver wire better than UPOFC wire?
Any links to Pre-made cabling would also help me thanks!

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated

Thanks, Nick.

Shielded or twisted pair especialy on critical signals will be more benefitial than fancy wire types. Any noise picked up by the wires will injected into the next stage and amplified.
At work we use standard wire from RS when wiring things up, and generaly Belden for any co-ax, or twin core twisted with a screen, so the return current is not running through the screen.

Seconded.

edit: But Van Damme instead of Belden.
