These are great cables. Very well constructed and snazzy to look at, too! As someone who works with Pro Audio, guitar, and audiophile gear for a living, I want to address some of the misinformed comments I've read. Electrically, there are only two factors that really matter in speaker cables: the ability to handle high current/low voltage signal, and a connection-to-connection DC resistance that is sufficiently low enough to not cause excessive damping on the speaker. Aesthetically, a cable ought to be flexible, sturdy, and if it looks cool, so much the better. Using dual 22 gauge leads as demonstrated here effectively creates a 14 gauge connector, which is quite robust for medium power amps, and the short distance means resistance is negligible. AC induction is also negligible and twisting the cables will not "filter" the low frequencies as suggested by some. Exotic metals and dielectrics used in the construction of some uber-boutique speaker cables is laughably ineffective and succeeds only in parting the rich and gullible from their money. And lastly, there is no such thing as a "cable burn-in period", so if the cable is well made and well suited for the application, it is ready to use right from the get go.

+Mason Lamb I know this was posted long ago but, 2 22 gauge wires are the equivalent of 1 19 gauge wire, not 14 as you mentioned. Every doubling of a single wire drops 3 gauge sizes thus you would need to have 6 22 gauge runs to get a single 14 gauge run.

I'm sure you don't know what ampere means and you certainly don't understand ohms laws and why amps output high voltage at low amperage. You probably don't understand how a 160 watt amp, like the pioneer sx-1250, has output transistors rated at 200 volts but only 10 amps(11 amps would cook these, 100 amps would destroy these and your house). You also probably don't know that your power outlets in your home are rated at 120 volts and only 15 amps since higher amps would burn down your house.

From Leo: I have been making speaker cables from lamp cord for decades. Standard 18 gauge will easily support 200 watts, it is polarized for keeping polarity straight, it is cheap and lasts for years. Any hardware store has long rolls that you just buy the length you want. It even comes in 3 or 4 colors if you color code your equipment.

I have been building cables with techflex type materials for years that have been used in everything from aircraft to mining. My trick to keep the sheathing in place is too use a dual wall heatshrink (adhesive lined heatshrink). If you make sure the heatshrink overlaps the sheathing onto the wire it will hold everything in place. I would also always out a piece of heatshrink over any center conductors. It is easy to do and can prevent any future mishaps.

With construction like this, I'd be tempted to twist one black and one white together, and then twist those together. The common mode rejection should be just that tiny bit better because you're effectively doing a double set of tightly twisted pairs then, rather than two fairly large wires in a looser twist. At audio frequencies and speaker voltages (never mind the kind of environment that uses 1/4" TS as speaker cables), it almost certainly makes jack all difference, of course.

@SMERGHEED Thats exactly what I said here. Twisting DOES NOT work for rejecting the noise that would interfere with audio frequencies. You need a full braid or foil for it to be effective. Even then, its only needed for RCA connections because we're dealing with very low signal levels vs speaker level which is high level.

I realise that this video is now rather old.... However, I would just like to say thank you for a very informative piece to start with. I have never believed the bull that seems to float around about 'expensive' cables. Here in the UK we have a number of way overpriced cables that are 'pushed' onto unwitting customers at the point of sale in both dedicated hifi shops (few and far between) and general electrical retailers (the worst offenders). I have always laughed when they try peddling the things onto me. They certainly look nice but hey, this is music that we are hearing not looking at. Another thing I have to chuckle at is the number of people who comment negatively about these DIY cables. Once again I say it's music we are listening to. It is purely a personal thing. Music is to be enjoyed and if that means tweaking the settings on the hifi then that is how I personally will listen to it. Lastly a suggestion if I may. Get yourself a decent sized cup hook. Screw into the wall or maybe a bench (somewhere safe of course) Hook your looped cable onto that and you can go much longer than the arms length you do in the video and it also means you can control the drill better and also the rate of twist in the cable. Thank you again for a great video.

Unless you are a super audiophile or are running a bazillion watts or a very long distance (more than 15 feet or so to each speaker) just plane old #16 zip cord does a wonderful job. Don't get duped by "Oxygen free Copper" Maybe you would see the difference on an oscilloscope but your ears won't notice. Just get the polarity right or it will sound horrible. That's the biggest gotcha in connecting speakers -- out of phase.

People need to realize that the 'speaker' is the amplifier's 'load' and is therefore an integral part of the amplifiers final circuit. This includes the wire! The cable must be appropriate in amp handling and impedance so as not to damage the output transformer of a tube or the output stage of solid state amps. The cable build here is great in amp handling and the twists cancel out any 'hum' or extraneous noise which may be induced. I have always liked and used the 'drill trick' in my builds.

Twisting wires will add flexibility, but it will also raise inductance, which is not a good thing for a speaker cable. Better choose good-quality, pure copper speaker cable zip cord. No drilling necessary. Also, I would advise to use heat-shrink on the solder joints to avoid shortening of the contacts under certain circumstances, which could blow up the output transfomer of a tube amp. And, while You're at it, put some heat-shrink over the finished plugs, as some sort of bend-protection.

For wires as thin as these, a robust version of a 1/4" TS jack will do even as a speaker wire. BTW, the jack can be made more robust, for instance by having several springs contacting the tip... But if either of the contacts is going to have problems, it'll usually be the shield, not the tip. There's in most jacks the same sort of spring, only it's contacting cylindrical surface, whereas with the tip it's a curved spring contacting a curved connector, and actually a much bigger contact area.

If you're a noob, just make sure that you skip 6:25 - 6:50.

I might be confused now, but I am speaking of speaker cables that are going from line out of a d/a converter into speakers that have their own power supply (Yamaha hs-50m's). I think you are referring to speaker cables as cables that go from a separate power supply to the speaker (like ns-10's or something).

A couple of years ago I had an energetic conversation with a guy from Best Buy's Geek Squad. He firmly asserted the only "Monster Cables" should be used for speakers. I tried to explain the the gauge of the cable was the more important consideration. He had no understanding of electrical circuits or even ohms law. Voltage drop / energy loss is what is to be avoided. For short runs, twisting is not important. For longer runs, twisted cable is better as it will not pickup energy from stray inductance forces.

Mind you I'm doing runs of more than 8 ft plus I'm also going to be making xlr cables for a pre amp to amp set up. So I would say its better to make them because I don't want clear speaker cables to look at for my stuff that's not in wall.

Why are you using dual twisted pair? Is there some reason you are using twisted pair instead of just untwisted pair?

Hi , can I practice this same theory with outdoor extension cord 16 gauge copper strand wire ? I'm making 10-12 feet cable for my pa speakers . Each speaker pushing about 200W rms . Will this handle the load ? Thanks for your help greatly .
