Speaker cables seem to be a hot topic on this board right now so i'm jumping on the band wagon.

has anyone here ever made their own speaker cables?

the most popular way is using Cat5 network cables. I work with computers sometimes, so I have been thinking about trying this, but i'd need several hours to sit down, learn it, then do it. has anyon here ever tried this? i'm curious to know how good they are, and how easy they are to make.


my second question is this. I have just been given about 12 feet of a very good microphone cable at work. I'm going to try to make speaker cable out of this. has anyone tried this? i have heard it is good because they are well insulated against noise. and if this is a BAD idea, please let me know! i wouldn't want to damage my speakers!

thanks guys!
