The size is what u need. If not written somewhere, measure the internal copper without the insulation.

QUOTE(arremie @ Jun 15 2009, 10:23 PM) U mean the red and black cable that comes free with some speakers? Get rid of it. The cable is so small and very high in resistance. Belden will definitely improve ur system over that free cable. I remembered I fried my tiny tiny cables that came with the speaker package ... hahaha .. wow it has been almost one year since i've started in HT. |

All sifus, i'm thinking of upgrading my speaker cables (currently using cheap cheap one bought from normal electrical shop) for my HT setup. Visited Futureshop and interested in QED SA XT for front + center speaker (2m pair terminated with banana plug), and QED SR-SW for subwoofer. yet to decide on surround speakers which are around 40ft's length away. How do we know the gauge from the technical specs when sometimes it doesnt show exactly the #gauge. Budget around RM500-RM700 without surround speakers cables cuz due to budget constraint thinking of upgrading those later. I dun mind to share in bulk order. Pls recommend. Tks all sifus' advises in advance!
P/S: what's the difference between QED SA XT & QED SA XT Bi-wire?? This post has been edited by milo-o: Jul 14 2009, 10:12 PM |

when i was in ICE, heated argument all around abt cables...we even do a blind test..all cannot hear the different..la... we even do a blind test to determine a balance speaker vs a non balance speakers...abt 0.3 ohm difference...no body can hear the difference la.....
we also do a blind test for a RM1500/m cable vs a RM 60/m cable running on Mark levinson system...in the end the ugly RM 1500/m was returned..for your info..the whole system cost 1.2m if you put in a oscilloscope to measure all the cables, you will find bigger has less resistance compare to small ones...but my argument was: Can you here this difference? anyone want to organized a blind test? so just get the smallest awg cable that you can fit and afford. I am all for good big power cord...cos...less resistance less heat and chances of caught fire is less..hahaha...and amp works best if the correct amt of amp is supplied to it.... |
