In Reply to: RE: Subwoofer Cables posted by frequentflyer on August 18, 2015 at 13:00:01
My HT has Tannoy speakers with a Marantz AVR (subs for center, surrounds and LFE). My two channel setup is tube-based, linear TT and Fostex full-range speakers (dual subs). Sub cables include: Vampire CCC, Auvio, Monster 16/4 in-wall, and a 12/4 DIY and others I don't remember. Except for the center channel sub cable, the others are, at least, 15 ft long. I hope this helps.

Hi mt10425,
I know you like Wireworld Luna 16/4 speaker cable. You might consider using that make/model cable as a high-level/speaker-level subwoofer interconnect. It's designed like Wireworld's line-level interconnects, including solid core ribbon conductors, but with larger aggregate gauge conductors better suited for the application. The geometry of the cable offers offers noise reduction, and the 16/4 conductor (2 x 16 AWG conductors per-pole) design is good for the application.
Cheers, Duster
Although I find limited improvement with some parallel cable connections, I will say that the most significant changes happened with P/Cs. I've used Shunyata and other aftermarket cords. I've also heard some expensive cords on 100,000 systems and there is a noticeable difference.

Thanks for the input. I've become a real fanboy of Wireworld cables. Things sound good now. If I get the bug and finances allow, I might go that route. With the distances I have, things have to fall into place.

Hi
Thanks for that.
I just had another thought.
If the main speaker cables transmit signal very fast and in the case of the High Fidelity they do, and I know speed varies from different cables would the sub-cable not need to transmit at the same speed or am I way off track?
Cheers
Transient response is very critical for bass articulation, so cables implemented for a subwoofer application should involve a high performance design rather than 12 AWG stranded zip cord with PVC insulation which tends to present woolly bass, with poor dynamic contrast vs. more sophisticated designs.
