Re: Idea for Speaker Cable, think it'll work?

While more pricey than the FIM wire, you might consider VH Audio's UniCrystal 18 AWG OCC Copper wire (Ohno Continuous Cast) with FEP Teflon insulation since you would not need to be concerned about the dielectric (as mitch2 mentioned, it's not a good idea to thread bare copper wire into Teflon tubing as done with silver wire). However, the main caveat of a DIY cable project such as this would be a lack of vibration damping material, which is often a critical design factor.
