Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: No, it's this stuff.

What I did, just to experiment, is even simpler. The magnet wire is already insulated with thin varnish. I just cut a couple lengths to size, burned the insulation off the ends with a candle, and wired the amp/speaker links with single wires (one for "+", one for "-"), just wrapped around the connectors -- i.e., no spades or bananas. This was just to try the principle.

Later I wired twisted pairs using a hand drill at one end and a vise at the other. I'd tell you whether this sounded better, but frankly I can't remember (it was over 15 years ago). I was just amazed that it worked at all, let alone that I liked the result better than what I had been using. Except, that is, for the somewhat threadbare sound in the lower mids.
