The main issues with speaker wire: 1. Wire diameter. If your wire lengths are 5 feet or less, 16-gauge wire is fine; for longer runs, 12 gauge is better.
2. Keep the wire lengths as short as possible. AntiCables states that the distortion caused by the dielectric effect of speaker wire gets worse with increased length, but with their wires, you can run different lengths since they have little dielectric (and their wires have low resistance and inductance). See http://www.anticables.com/faq.html#6 for details. See http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm and http://theaudiocritic.com/back_issues/The_Audio_Critic_16_r.pdf for interesting discussions of the factors involved in choosing the right speaker wire. -- Ron Olsen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron Olsen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9233 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33218 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
