RE: My very first high end speaker system was the Fulton Js

Posted by hahax@verizon.net on January 13, 2017 at 20:36:07:
Wrap the cables in foam pipe insulation partly to minimize vibration affects. Then wrap the two cables together with ties. Then the positive signal goes down one set of cables. The negative down the other. The spacing caused by the insulation reduces inductance improving the top end(Fulton Gold had increasing inductance as frequency increased). Of course you need to use short lengths of other wire at each end to connect to the right and left on the amp and the speakers. That's not a bad idea with Fulton Golds in any format since it was so unwieldy and could be a pain to connect to amps or speakers any way.

Since the oxidation of my Fulton Golds I now use short speaker cables with my amp between the speakers and long interconnects from preamp to amp which is working quite well.
