just buy some 10 ga solid copper wire like electricians use from Home depot
- the other stuff is just smoke and mirrors that the industry wants you to waste money on.

Not here to argue but that's simply not true. I agree some of these designer cables are no better than some of the mid level wire. But anyone that thinks that you can get wire from Home Depot that is in the same stratosphere is not being truthful. Cables do matter and I found that solid core speaker cable work better to me with Magnepan's. The best cable I've ever had in my system was Tara Labs 0.8. The only reason I got rid of them was due to weight. They're a very heavy cable and even with the use of cable risers the banana at the speaker end would bend and eventually break.
If you dont like the home depot wire then you can try making pure silver DIY cables for a few hundredthe big money cables are an absolute waste of $$$$$

I just don't understand why people spend thousands of dollars on speakers, amps/ preamps, turntables and DAC's only to go DIY on cables. To Me IT Makes No Sense!
I can tell you why.
because its the one area of the hobby where you can save a fortune.
I made my own silver interconnects for 40 bucks a pop - a company would have wanted 10x that amount for something that is very easy to make.
its not so easy to design your own DAC
