Re: CAT 5 variation

Posted by Matts on February 25, 2004 at 12:26:41:

I've tried a few different things, and settled for now on some cables made out of 2 lengths of CAT 5 Plenum-rated(teflon). I leave the sheath on, strip the 8 wires down about an inch, then put the 4 solids from each of the 2 cables togther for one lead, and the 4 stripes together for the other lead. Do the same on the other end for the speakers connections. Only takes a few minutes to do & sounds a lot better than using all eight in the same sheath for each side; also than other variations I've tried or twisted magnet wire.
