Specs: Length: 8' Canare 4S11 / 14AWG / star-quad Gold plated banana plugs Black 1/2" Nylon multifilament sleeving / black heatshrink It took about 3 hours worth of time. Well worth it!

jlqrb Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Looks amazing! Do you speakers not support bi-wiring though ? Just curious as to why two cable sources to each connection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the speakers I currently have. Eventually, that'll change Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Would I be correct in assuming that those are radioshack connectors? Looks great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered just about everything from here: http://www.performanceaudio.com/cgi/product_view.cgi?products_id=14932 The banana plugs are Marshall Electronics, if that means anything. http://www.mars-cam.com/cables/generic_con/me_p26.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy_Nate Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Tools used Wire strippers Scissors Diagonal cutters Heat gun Tape measure Cut to length: Supplies: *note...1/2" shrinkwrap, over something that is nearly 1/2" thick, requires too much work! Figure out where to put the "crotch" of the "cable pants" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Nate Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Well...bummer. I've got static on my receiver's left channel. Our cats have a habit of...well, jumping behind my audio equipment and getting stuck...and of course, ripping wires out while trying to get out I had a feeling I'd be going back to an amplifier sometime; however, I didn't really think it would be because of a reason like this. Guess it's time to craigslist the 'pioneer and look for something else. I've had my eye on an onkyo A-9555 for some while now ('bout $450). We'll see. I'll probably build a temporary enclosure to keep the furry critters out... Oh yeah, more pics! Excuse my furry legs! Strip! Put pants on (much easier with packing tape on the wires!): Terminate: Heat shrink: One done: Useful hint: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlqrb Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Post some pics of your system. I used to run a pair of Thiel 2.3 speakers from a Jolida tube amp. Sounded amazing for music and surprising it was amazing for movies as well. Also, check out this website. It is a community of Audiophiles that sell their used gear. You can pick up some of the best brands around at a great price. Used to be where I got all my gear. http://www.audiogon.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of my current stuff is really high end...and I'm probably going to wait until I'm out of apartment living before I fully consider changing that. My gear is currently messy, so, I'll refrain from posting pictures about that until I build (or buy) a moderate enclosure. My speaker stands are computer cases at the moment That, and the desk that we use is barely large enough for my HDTV, no place for the keyboards or mice (yes, plural).

jlqrb Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 I see. Still, I would like to see the computer case speaker stands! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
