Will This Stuff Make Good Speaker Cable?

I've been using mine with the Big G and the Large Advents. However, I don't crank it like Thor. So I am not sure how it would behave with mucho power going through them.
 
Ok cables are all ready and I will be putting them on tommorow, everything should be OK right? Anything I should watch out for? They do look mighty sharp I must say ;)
 
I don't know Thor

It's pretty cold here in PA. If you crank it too much you may take out the entire NE power grid. Oh, wait, mayhaps I'll get to check cryoed cables and equipment...

Were you really the cause of the NY blackout as the internet rumours stated?

I believe that, if your 16ga carries the load, larger gage will have no problems.

Course, if I'm wrong, all you'll get from me is OOoopps, sorry:p:

And good prices on cryoed speaker wire direct from Pittsburgh
 
Well I had some time so I did the right side last nite, the easy side, and then did an A/B comparison using the balance knob and I couldn't hear no difference so it seems i got some cool new cables ;)

I only post here 'cause I like typing things no one will read or respond to....




<hint: check previous frickin page...and check for unusual heat generation from amp...probably not an issue with 8' cables>
 
What sound levels were you checking them out at. I doubt you could tell much difference in any thing at ear damage levels. Keep checking heat levels in your amps etc.
Did you tin the things or just twist them? Copper oxide will change things and if they are ok now they might not be in 6 months if you didnt get solder on those wires.
 
Echowars I was asking for any more opinions from others was all, making sure no one had perhaps something new to add.


Thatch no I didn't solder the ends just twisted them, what kind of solder do I use to do it?

I tested at all levels and I can't tell the difference between the new ones and the old. There was also no extra heat on the amps. I think I'm good to go thanks all.
 
Doesn't matter much, other than MAKE SURE it is for electronics.
Rat Shack has it. A nice little silver solder is all she'll need.

pete, who is sure his lil' ol' iron is lonely lately :(
 
> Dammmmmm my fingers hurt from stripping wires

Hey Thor, You should have used a tool to strip the insulation off. No, you should not use your teeth either :).

Now seriously, I don't think any cable of resonable size would make a difference. Your test confirms it.
