In Reply to: RE: Speaker cable wiring schemes posted by Duster on May 16, 2015 at 00:38:04
Personally I have never tried the method shown in the photo linked by the OP, but I think that in principal it could be a good solution for a single wire connection scheme. This would seem to serve solid core wire better than stranded wire as the binding post compression of stranded wire may not provide the best connection. Extra connectors and solder (if used) would not seem to bring any benefits to signal transmission to solid core wire.The photo shows the multi-strand wire to be a bit ragged, which is not optimal. I would use some heat shrink on the wire between the two terminals to help prevent oxidation to the exposed copper wire.

A fundamental issue is that the ragged small-gauge stranded hookup wire serving as a jumper cable is a very poor choice for the purpose. A larger-gauge jumper made with a higher-quality conductor would serve the purpose better, even though it would not be a single contiguous conductor like the configuration shown in the photo. Whether or not the exposed wire is covered with heat shrink won't improve the sonic performance of the wiring method.
The bottom line is, if one is using basic 18 AWG hookup wire as speaker wiring, it doesn't really matter what method is implemented for the task. A more sophisticated high-performance speaker cable won't be as easy to implement that way, and the sonic result would most likely be unacceptable from a high-performance perspective vs. a high-quality jumper cable.
