Mpoes, I was thinking the same thing!By replacing my internal speaker wiring with CAT5/6 braided cable I can have a better degree of continuity in my wiring so as not to colorize my sound signature with various types of wire.
One note of interest in my preliminary CAT5 prototypes is that there was a noticeable improvement in high-end clarity with the braided 4-pair 6ft CAT5 cable (I am looking forward to testing my 0.5m CAT6 8-pair prototype soon) versus the 25ft 12guage copper flatwire that used to be my speaker wire.
I think I'll fancy up a custom CAT6 cable array for my speakers and give it a shot. I have everything internally on quickconnects, so if it doesn't work out I can always replace them back with the 16guage copper cable that currently resides in my custom speakers.
Thanks to everyone for your comments!
