Too terminate or not


Final addition to my Harbeth p3esr and Croft Integrated amplifier combo is the speaker cable. Unfortunately I need a 30 foot long run. I’ve narrowed down my choice of cable to Mogami 3103. 

I can purchase the cable in bulk from Performance Audio at $2.86/ft(need 60 ft total). I suck at terminating cables and I can purchase Vampire HDS spades separately - where can I send for professional termination with gas tight crimp and maybe treating the cable with Cryo while there? Take Five Audio sells 30ft in pair Cryo treated and terminated with Vampire spades for $450.

Hello ghulamr.  Parts Conexxion, in Canada is selling Duelund Dual DCA 12 GA speaker wire at $31.95 US/meter. Twenty meters would run you about US$640 and be just about unbeatable. You don't need do-dads on the end. Use it with bare ends. The 16 gage wire referred to in an article someone suggested is too small for you, but what it says about the quality of the product is correct.
