OMG, you have to be kidding me on those speaker wire stands. They are 18 dollars a piece and I have 25 ft runs? I don't think so. They claim is, if there is something conductive in the floor this protects it. Well all the wire is on the floor, but on top of carpet with plywood under it so I'm sure it's not conductive.
Now this 12ga wire I'm using has thick plastic clear type insulation around it. I'm thinking the coiling I'm doing isn't affecting it. The problem is I don't want to cut the cables in case I want to move the speakers around so the length has to stay the same. I could try the zig zaging but would I really be able to tell a difference? I was thinking stacking the coiled wire on top of other speakers coils might cause some interference but I'm doubting that too.
How can you tell if inductance is occurring? Like I said it sounds fine no humming or noise that's audible. Is there some sort of test to prove whether or not this is a issue?
Thanks
