The 4 gauge wires im using for my phones seem to really open up the highs


Tsk tsk... only two wires are used for telephony... the red/yellow wire (ring) and green/black (tip) in station wire... once you get into CAT3 or 5 twisted pairs, first pair is White(w/blue) - tip, Blue(w/white) - ring... then the orange pair... usually you don't have to go further than that in your house (though it's green, brown, grey to finish up Group 1)... then the secondary colors change from white to red, black, yellow and purple in that order I think... I need a mnemonic for those - give you a total of 25 pairs in a binder.

Cliff Clavin, eat your heart out!
