I got the Axiom wire for the following reasons:

1. Super flexible to work with, can even replace your shoelaces in a pinch.

2. Mined from the same copper vein as the internal wiring so it is electroncally balanced and aligned to magnetic north.

3. Heat cured in Axioms own blast furnace.

4. Pre broken in and automatically directional.

5. Oxygen content replaced with nitrogen just like in race cars.

6. Can be tri-amped and tri-wired.

That should be more than enough food for thought

In reply to:

This might sound stupid, but what's the purpose of the fuzzy stuff in the middle of the jacket?


This may sound even stupider, but it's my guess (nothing more) and I'm throwing it out here just to see if it's correct, or if I'm FOS. (No cracks, now )



That fuzzy stuff is a strong twine, which, when not cut so the ends fray as you see in the photo, is in it's normal "twined" state. It's placed inside the jacket for strength so the two wires, which are carrying all the important stuff, don't bend and break as easily as they might without the twine. Whadaya think? Sounds good to me!

Jack, that sounds good to me! I thought it might be some guru science which will somehow improve the sound of our speakers beyond the use of conventional zipcord wire.

LOL! NUTS! I shoulda said that's its purpose. It makes the electrons flow in the right direction.

It's actually woven vine fiber that has been blessed by a shaman so that the electron can fulfill their true potential (more SPLs)...

Actually, Jack, you're correct. That stuff is just fiber to add tensile strength to the wire.

I thought it was for insulation, for that warm sound.
