For best results, use the teflon 'rope', it will affect the sound if any other material is used, including cotton rope.

BTW, instead of making a "throw-away" set with the good materials, use some cheap polyethylene wires, and some cheap RS plugs, and some cheap 60/40 RS solder and small cotton rope. If you can put those together, and make good solder joints, etc., THEN tackle the real materials using 63/37 Kester or equiv., and you will have a good pair of cables for the long haul.

Either way, be SURE to check for continuuity of the ground and the hot, so you do not damage your ystem when trying them out for the first time.

Also, put a little (reasonable) stress on the ends BEFORE installation and continuity check, make sure the ground connection is not going to 'pop loose', and cause massive hum, etc.

Then realize on hi rez systems, they will probably need to break-in a while before reaching full potential.
