Making speakers cables and interconnects from foil inductors - Click HERE for Original Thread
JCoffey
I remember seeing a site once explaining how to unroll a copper foil inductor to use it to make really good speaker cables and interconnects. I have a couple that I dont need, and would like to try it, but cant find instructions anywhere. Any advice?

No replies huh. Well guess I'm just going to have to try and pray, :D

I ran into a page not long ago. Of course, I can't find it now.

I don't remember what the guy used for isolation (double adhesive tape?), but I don't think the actual construction was very difficult. Best of luck.

You unroll them, then stack them on top of one another with an insulator in between for speaker cables. use the foil itself as the termination and you're in good shape. But for ICs, foil isn't really easy to do well. I personally don't like the bass presentation of foil conductors in any arrangement, but that's me.
