Furez ratings.
Capacitance @ 1KHz: 17.5pF/ft
Inductance @ 1KHz: 0.179uH/ft

I use welded pry bars with R-28 insulation.

The rest of you are wimps.

Not the most flexible solution...

That was CV.

Bluejay, i wonder why they dont make those chart's easy to find on their speaker cable page. The furez cables have slightly higher inductance, but a decent amount less capacitance. i think capacitance would be the more important variable here, as capacitance is the opposition to a changing frequency (or stored voltage), were inductance is the opposition to a change in current.


They should make that information more easily available, a link or something on the cable page...i looked for a minute or so, and could not find it, but then again i am not interested in looking much longer than a minute or so smile

Those are measurements conducted by a 3rd party. I agree it wouldn't hurt to link stuff like that. I think Blue Jeans does a great job. They summed up speaker wire perfectly in a paragraph on their website.

I was looking to get some new speaker cables soon, I think I may try those, too. Most of my interconnect cables have come from BJC. Really impressed with price, build quality, and ease of use (no death grip and flexibility).
