Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions What gauge speaker wire do I need?

Well, JohnK, that's progress, you'll admit that these cables will sound different, although you figure for the worse. OK

Try them JohnK, tell us whether they degrade or improve the audio performance of your system. I'll pay for the return postage on your cables if you agree to give them an honest listen.

BTW, what's your system?

While I may not agree with you on the cables part 2x6spds, one thing is undeniable... Mapleshade sure knows how to master their records!

The fight is never that ALL cables sound the same, it's that similar cables made of similar materials will sound that same... ie: NO one here is claiming 32ga wire will sound the same as 16 or 14. Wire of similar ga. will sound the same (ie: 12ga. silver vs 12ga. solid copper vs 12ga. stranded 99.999999 O2 free copper) saying ANY wire will sound like any other wire I would say is an incorrect statement... although someone here about a year ago used a coathanger for a SPDIF (coaxial) connection centre pin and reported no lost fidelity over a manufactured cable.

Just a thought, but I like this place because of the no-nonsense "scientific" approach.

When I go elsewhere and read about speaker, component, and cable break-in, I feel like an alien. I get a faint ringing in my ears and my body stretches to 10 feet tall. My extremities tingle, time slows down and I am left numb and depressed.

That's why I pretty much stay here at the Axiom forum.

It's OK Big Will. That's a typical response to approaching the event horizon of an average supermassive singularity.

Speaking of "event horizon", did you see the movie by the same name? I don't know why, but that movie scared the sh*t out of me. I had turn it off (hiding face in shame).

BigWill I in no way mean to put you down (The Ring freaked my $41+ out!), but I recall watching that movie and being really disapponted in Laurence and Sam for making such a POS when I know they are both great actors!

ps the ring really did scare the bejesus out of me.

I just thought it was disgusting. And really not very good. The way it was hyped looked a lot better than the movie itself.

i had never heard of it until i rented it = maybe that helped. most horror movies w/ supernatural bad guys or human bad guys don't scare me, but aliens...

Oh, I agree with you there (about the aliens), but I was just disappointed by the movie. And I thought that some of it was unnecessarily gory.
