Or with parallel zip cord, chuck one end in a vice and the other in the
electric drill. Pull it tight and turn it on and make your own
twisted pair. Be sure and keep it tight at all times. How many
twists? Depends on how long one hold the trigger down. About 10
turns per foot is good.

If the present speaker wire is nothing but some kind of parallel
conductor zip cord, you have a good chance of fixing the problem by
replacing it with a twisted pair geometry cable (no shield or ferrites
required). I've used Audioquest FLX-DB 14/2 with good success with a
hi-fi system located literally underneath my antennas on the roof. You
can get it at Crutchfield, or probably many other outlets, at a fair
price.

OK... so I am knee deep in assembling and installing a subRX, et al.,
but got reminded by the XYL that I STILL have not addressed the
signal bleed into the audio system via the long runs of parallel
conductor speaker wires in the HT setup.
In order to maintain a high "SAF" (Spouse Acceptance Factor), I need
to deal with this issue WHILE I am in the attic re-configuring the
network and routing various shack related wiring.
I cannot imagine a stellar group of operators as are gathered here
have not had to deal with this before. <grin> I am hoping that
replacing the speaker wire with either simple twisted pair (or
shielded, twisted pair, w/shield properly terminated) will mitigate
the hits the HT system is taking.
*Q: Do any of y'all have recommendations for a particular wire stock
for use in this application?* Small system... only about 50W per
channel on the 5 main speakers, so they don't have to be
monster-sized conductors. I considered using CAT-5(+) wire and
bonding all 4 pair to a single loop, but I don't think a single run
would be enough copper (?), and I don't want to make multiple runs
per driver.
*Any ideas?*
