RE: carbon fiber in teflon

Paco

My guess is that those wires will sound pretty sweet in the mids, have nice bass but likely be rolled off in the highs. I suspect that they will not be real tightly wound, and likely be pretty rough quality CF (I've not tried the ones you link to, but I've tried a lot of different types).

Doing the termination the by wrapping copper foil around and then compressing with a screw terminal will work reasonably well. But don't try soldering onto the copper - the heat from the soldering will easily damage the thin carbon fibers, so best to stick to screw termination when using this technique.

All I will say is that it took me a long time to find a way to terminate CF that is sonically transparent. But I think you will get pretty good results with this wire and technique, certainly for the cost. Do report back...
