    Speaker wire

    Hello all Definitely not looking for any big battles about speaker wire, magic or otherwise. I'm looking to build some speaker wire for my main system. I've long had the 12 AWG Blue Jean stuff, but it's lack of 'floppiness' (and tiny bit of memory) has always bugged me as it looks a tad messy...

    Old Mac Amps Banana to Spade Adapter Plug

    For old amps like the MC2205, what's the best and most convenient way to connect speaker cables? I am currently using these: Banana to Spade Adapter Plug/Speaker Cable Connector. I found prices vary from very cheap to expensive. Do I need to buy copper? Gold plated? Would the material matters...

    Speaker cable connection to a Yamaha P2200

    Wiring thick-ish speaker cable into a Yamaha P2200.. The hole in the amp's speaker terminal is a bit too thin to accept the speaker cable. So what's the very best way of doing this? Bare wire? Soldered tips? Spade lugs? If so, what type / brand.

    SONY Speaker w/ single cable (not RCAs)

    I wish I took a picture of these and I don't recall the model, but I saw a pair of large floor standing SONY speakers at a thrift store today. They were in great shape, but when I flipped them around to look at the specs, I noticed instead of having two jacks, it had one single thin cable...

    Speaker Wire, Gauge, etc.

    I've read in another forum a good argument against smaller (12, 10, 8) gauges of cable in most systems. Especially in those less than about $7,500 or so. Anyhoo, It was brought up, and I had to agree. That a fellow 'Phile was going to use 14 or even 16 GA wire for DIY speaker cables. Saying...

But the stock jumpers on the Orb Audio Mod2x are stranded and hard to insert speaker solid wire into. Also horrible speaker wire. I was looking @...

    Speaker cable perhaps...

    I just got 2, roughly 10 foot lengths of 'H07RN-F 5G6' cable, (5x6mm sq cores) good for 50 amps at up to 750V, it is flexible and I should think it will do very nicely. Several of these cables were being thrown out (yes really) anyway I got official permission to take some - so I grabbed two...
