Wtb- good speaker connection wire

[nightrider0614]

Does anyone have some good, maybe silver coated wire for my internal speaker connections that they would like to sell?

I am finishing up the rewire of my Maggie's and just need connection wire to finish them.

I'm thinking 14 awg should be fine, that's what the inductor is.

I only need a few feet each of basicly any color.

Thanks,
Jeff

Wire

Belden teflon coated wire- 83000,83010 series,88641,88760.1701LC,19363,19364,Cardas Litz chassis/hookup,Kimber TCSS,Kimber Twist,copper magnent wire,solid core silver wire

Thanks, I was hoping someone had a few feet laying around that they wanted to sell. Worst case I will buy new.

I have some audio note sogon gathering dust $5k should do it if you need only a few feet

 

[nightrider0614]

Thanks but I think that may be a bit overkill for my Maggie's. Lol

Why not just get some Van Damme studio wire off amazon for a few dollars? Enough people swear by it. Sold by length, available in plenty of different gauges.

If anyone tells you silver coating makes an audible difference slap them. Hard.

I have some Belden lying around - let me check the closet and I'll let you know what I got.

Don't forget to slap those who hear difference in CD players and amplifiers too ...hard😉

CD players and amplifiers are made out of a lot of *active* and passive elemets, have gain, a certain frequencyresponse, are powered, etc.
TONS of non linear stuff going on, doing things specified by the designer.

A 2 feet piece of wire is .... a two feet piece of wire.

Flat from dc to a few MHz (where inductance even if straight starts to make a difference) and can be trusted to have a 0% distortion spec.

Now, how do you say it will affect sound?

Just curious.

I have just shy of 8' of Belden 5T00UP (10 ga.) in the grey jacket, purchased from BJC, that I used to wire up my four pi knock-offs.

It's yours for the cost of shipping. Figure 13 oz. from 14850. FedEx and USPS are most convenient for me.

Home Depot. Lots of good wire there.

A 2 feet piece of wire is .... a two feet piece of wire.

What if it's small-diameter wire, coiled tightly around a .5mm ferrous core?

 

[beeah]

I have some other wire, roughly 14 gauge, solid core, insulated in an attractive white jacket, that I'm sure the dry cleaner won't miss.

Again, for the cost of shipping.

 

[nightrider0614]

Thanks beeah, I think the 14 would be fine. I will check out shipping and pm you.

As long as it's not steel core. Lol

It´s called an inductor, NOT a 2 foot piece of 14 Ga speaker connecting wire, so absolutely unrelated to what we are talking here.

The 14 ga wire is also an inductor , as I already noted, but noticeable at, say, 100 or 200 MHz.

In fact, it´s an excellent 1/4 wave antenna at 123 MHz, go figure 🙄
