Re: The fun of braiding....

169.207.3.3

You have about 15 gauge cable with the 9 twisted pairs (18 wires). By braiding with 2 more "9 twisted pairs" you effectively bring the gauge equivalent down to 10 gauge. The way your cables are currently constructed, you might find the bass to be a bit shy. It is pretty important to have the Teflon insulated CAT 5 if you want to really have ultimate performance, though. You might want to try to shorten your existing lengths- try in your system for preliminary listening and then get some TEFLON CAT 5 before you do any more braiding. That's alot of work to have to do all over with the Teflon insulated cable! Good luck, and BTW- the numbing pain in your fingers will go away after a few days! :-)
