Extending speaker wire?


Hi all,

I have a set of speaker cables, unterminated, that are not quite long enough for the intended purpose. I have another, shorter set of the same cable lying around as well. Is it ok to simply braid or solder these cables together, creating a longer run of cable? It seems to good to be true, but I thought I'd ask the experts.

Thanks!

Nah... rather get a run of cable that will "fit" where you need to use it. Solder joints can degrade sound (I know that all electronic gear are filled with solder joints but it doesnt hurt to keep it to a minimum).
