513.0. "10 gauge technocabel cable ?" by SAWA::JERZYNSKI (Zygmunt JERZYNSKI) Fri Feb 24 1995 12:07

    What are the chances that a 9-10 gauge 
    (approx. 6 milimeters square) semi-'NO NAME'
    speaker cable (copper unknown) compare 
    similarily to a brand-name 13 gauge
    (2.5 mm2) cable ?
    
    From the look of it, its hundreds of tiny wires twisted
    together in some 7 groups, again twisted together. 
    From the look through the transparent coating, 
    the tag-claim 'OFC' seems probable.
    
    Company name is TECHNOCABEL (very young, polish origin).
    Our local pricing: 1.3$ per meter (seems tempting!).
    
    Zygmunt.

513.1Budget bi-wiring ?SAWA::JERZYNSKIZygmunt JERZYNSKIFri Feb 24 1995 12:1913
    Additional comment:
    
    I am considering setting up Bi-Wiring, and using:
    
    1. Technocabel-thing for the kicking Bass (assumption: Bass needs
       low ohms, and nothing realy more), whereas 
    2. Use something more brand-like/higher gauge for the mid-treble,
       to avoid rolloff and achieve reasonable soundstage imaging
       (thats what you Guy's call it ?)
    
    Thanks for input,
    Z.
