Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE: Solid vs Stranded wire

Practically speaking, I use stranded when twisting pairs of wire to reduce hum, like heater lines (less likely to crack over time & with heat). I use solid strand for all signal lines if possible. And grounding straps. Stranded lines for speaker jack connections.

More for reliability issues, than total sonic value.

Just my 2ยข worth...
