Speaker Cable-The Best of the Cheap?
You could be up all night, or several nights, reading old posts in this forum on that topic. If you'll do a search on the cables suggested above and add 'Canare 4s11' to the group you'll find a lot of very useful information, and a lot of marginally useful opinion. The answer will be, as always in these forums, 'It depends.' |
Sorry, you also asked about sources for cable. The Canare 4s11 is available at http://www.markertek.com/index.asp for $.69 a foot. Markertek has a huge site that's difficult to navigate and sports one of the worst search engines I've ever encountered but if you'll type '4s11' into the search box at the top of the home page it should get you there. There are also two smaller gauge variants of the 4s11, 4s8 and 4s6, that might work for some applications. |
The soft gray finish of the 4s11 is reasonably attractive and I've never bothered to sheath it but it's certainly a possibility if you want to make the cable less obtrusive by matching a carpet color, for instance, or more obtrusive if you're making some kind of fashion statement. The brand of sheathing you most often see is Techflex. You can google that and find lots of information and sources. One easy source is Parts Express but there are many others. |
