Deang Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 All I know is that all of the old Heritage stuff used that while jacketed zip cord - but it’s not straight copper - it’s tin annealed. Maybe back in the day “lamp cord” was tin annealed copper - I honestly don’t know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KROCK Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 I'll use the annealed wire inside the cabinets, then it's a toss up from cross over to rear of speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think it’s overpriced, but I don’t know anyone else that sells a tin annealed copper speaker wire. Is there a difference between tinned copper wire and tin annealed copper wire? Knukoncepts has their Karma SS as tinned copper --. Dont use it but saw it listed - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Dean said it's very expensive but you are certainly allowed to put your hard earned dollars where you think it will do the most good. As I said I've used the Supra before. It has that "high quality" feel to it and it's very flexible, very easy to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KROCK Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Supra & not Ultra flex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Just now, KROCK said: Supra & not Ultra flex? If you're asking me, I don't remember exactly, it was 5 years ago. I think I remember the Supra blue wire and it was my first DIY (technically AIY) kit. I bought 3 MTM kits and I loved that Madisound included everything needed to put it together, including a pre-assembled box, screws, proper lengths of wire, open cell foam sheets AND a can of spray adhesive to attach the foam!

KROCK Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 The Supra Classic has 204 strands opposed to the Karma SS @ 112 strands. Don't know which would be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in a house in which all plugs and ends of wires turned green. Then moved to a house with central heating, air conditioning, double glazed windows and insulated attic, walls and even floors -- no green yet, 14 years and counting.

The Supra is 3x the price. with a lil over kill, I'm thinking 27' per speaker, w/o the leeds to the receiver. So the Karma SS is 27x.40 = $10.80, Supra classic is 27x $1.22= $32.94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I really like that it's twisted, and color coded so you can easily tell positive from negative. It won't be as pliable as the Supra, but I'm not willing to pay three times the price for that either. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muel Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Duelund DCA12GA uses 65 strands of 0.25mm tinned-copper wires with oil-soaked and baked cotton dielectric. http://www.partsconnexion.com/wire_hookup_duel_dca16.html Luckily, my amps are very close to the speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muel Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I used the 16ga first... before the 12ga was available. I'm pretty happy now. I'll be moving the 16ga to individual driver duty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
