Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

RE: DIY.Best -price

Amazing work CJ, thank you for sharing.

Any idea where one can 4 core cable for the interconnect you recommend? VH sells some for power cable and speaker cable but I have not found any with 4 cores for interconnect use.

Also, in a two core interconnect cable, would there be any benefit in using a thicker gauge for the ground wire compared to the hot signal wire?

I have noticed that thin gauge interconnects can sound thin and have restricted dynamics. A part of me wonders how much of this is due to the "poorer" ground connection due to the higher resistance on the thin gauges.

Finally, in my own experiments with DIY interconnects, I have found ribbon shaped silver cable insulated with oil impregnated silk (Duelund) to sound better than anything else I tried including top of the line Siltech cables.

From your work, any idea what cable construction / geometry would be optimal for use with ribbon shaped wire when used as interconnects ?

Thanks again for sharing your work, I have learned a lot from it.

Kind regards

Gaby
