In Reply to: Danger of 'too much' upgrade: some recordings once OK, now just plain suck. posted by Smelly_Socks on September 30, 2016 at 04:17:46:
Well, you're in Wisconsin (pronounced wisCONsin - hey, I know, 'cause I grew up in Oshkosh, b'gosh), so a warm fuzzy blanket is just the ticket for the next many months. ;)But Siriusly...
If you're talking about speaker cables, 12 gauge twisted pair is all you need. I use Belden, which was 50 cents a foot when I bought it back in the early 1800s. What I've seen as the biggest difference is the connector and the cable's connection to the connector, not the cable itself, and there ain't no connector nor solder job worth $3,000.
