hi Tom,
just 14 gauge conventional speaker wire. I actually did buy a ridiculously expensive ($300) set of speaker wires and used them for a while but damned if I could hear any difference, so those are sitting in some closet somewhere since they are thick and inflexible and therefore a pain to for me to use.
Going on over 20 years with the T8 (bought new in early 2000s) and 10 years with the Ref3A. The combo is just as stunning and mesmerizing as from day one. Even after 10 hours I often have to tear myself away and call it a night.
I had to do some minor work on the T8 - replaced 4 caps, a fuse, and all the power tubes. But that was all probably a consequence of relocating and giving the amp some pretty good bumps during transit.
Prior to the DeCapos I had Proac D15s - also a musical and "zero listener fatigue" experience for me, but the Proacs really needed more than 25wpc amp.
