    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...

    Anyone have a source for this solid, shielded 2 conductor wire?

    This wire between the main in and amp board on my 2238b broke, and I would like to replace it with a similar shielded cable and wire wrap it as it was originally. Anyone know where to get this stuff?

    Newby Question - those wrapped wires - how to remove?

    I'm learning as I go with a 6160 receiver and want to test parts on the pre-amp board (I've got one weak channel and hissing). This board sits vertically and has long pins/leads off the board which go to the underside. The wires attached to each of these pins looks like it is just tightly...

    Realistic STA-225 Two disconnected wires on underside of tuner.

    Hello all, I am servicing a Realistic STA-225 and am pretty sure I popped these two connections loose. I replaced two capacitors on the tuner board, and had to move the schmidt trigger board out of the way. I made a rookie mistake and did not take pictures before I started. Pictures included of...

    Female banana to pin connectors.

    Couldn't find what I wanted so I made my own. These become married to speakers that do not have banana connectors. It enables me to swap out speakers quickly which is important when testing. The faster I can hear the next set of speakers, the better my judgement is. That is the theory...

    Vectuer cable - speaker? Interconnect?

    Got this cable with craigslist haul several years ago - was told that it was speaker wire. Now I'm trying to find more information on it. No part number. Braided shielding. Appears to be four solid insulated conductors. The shielding makes me think it's actually interconnect cable. It also...

    Rewiring a transformer, using single insulated wire over double insulated?

    Pioneer thought it would be a fantastic idea to wire-wrap the transformer to the PCB. So, unfortunately, my only choice here is to undo the wire-wraps in order to remove the PCB. The problem is that the brittle 37 year old wire is now not long enough for me to create a new wire-wrap connection...

    Sansui AS-200 speaker connection to receiver question

    Hey, so I recently purchased a pair of Sansui as 200s for $50. I got them home and realized they only had two posts in the back, one said 8 ohm and one said ground. I have a pretty standard receiver, a Denon avr-1912, which uses one positive/negative set of outputs per speaker. I've tried...

    Guy has speaker wire hangups

    Imagine there was a guy, who had a sound system that was evolving quite beautifully over time. Pretty high end stuff, vintage stuff. But the one thing that he felt really cheap about, and confused about, was cables. In particular, speaker wire. Because he never knew whether it was a total rip...

    GT-2000 Tonearm Question

    I recently acquired a Yamaha GT-2000L. Has anyone ever rewired the YSA-1 (straight) tonearm? At the yoke end, there are the 4 leads plus ground, which dive into the junction point. However, at the the cartridge end there are 6 wires per channel lead bundled into each cartridge clip. Why? Has...
