RE: [DistributedHomeAudio] Bulk speaker cable

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Well, someone (Mark M and Phil?) did some tests a while ago, and the concul= sions were that 79 strand was the ideal balance for the longer runs...

... anything cheaper and the inducted noise levels get silly

... anything more expensive and your money's better spent on a line-level s= oln. like KAT5

I know there was some traffic a week or two ago about bulk speaker cable fo= r
WHA, the cheapest places to get it and so on... - ISTR a link to some Gale =
cable at Richer Sounds for 70p or so per metre...

I recently took delivery of some Maplins cable, which I have to say, does <= BR> seem pretty good for the money:

Part    Description       = ;     Qty.    LineNett   =   LineVAT     LineTotal
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
PA09K   100m HiFi Spkr Cable      1 = ;     34.030       5.955&= nbsp;        39.99


a 100m drum for =A340, and that's delivered to my front door (free delivery= ).
The stuff itself is 79 strand in a white PVC jacket with a black stripe on =
one side. It's also bloody heavy!! - I haven't checked it, but the whole drum is surprisingly weighty!

I am going to use this for cabling for music speakers in some secondary zones (kitchen initially), - there will be a seperate TTS speaker in the zone as well, and I'll probbaly use it for that too, although I may still <= BR> have some much thinner cheaper stuff left over for that...

For TTS speakers only, this seems like overkill, but they do do some cheape= r
bulk cable as well, and there is always the Homebase so-called speaker cabl= e
which is dirt cheap... (about =A310 a drum IIRC)
