Hey all,
Yet again, another post about how to finish off the 41Hz amp4 kit I'm modifying.
Basically, I'm considering what wire/cable to use for the signal path wire for the input, power (from an SLA battery) and output signal paths.
As for gauges, I'm considering using AWG16 for the output and power, and AWG23 for the input, as I'm aware these are generally preferred for these uses.
I had originally planned to use hand drawn .999% silver insulated with beeswax-permeated cotton from Electrum Audio. I was assured the wire would not suffer from the usual 'brightness' associated with silver, and that the detail and 'soundstage' would be much increased.
However, I then found out that braiding the wires has a noise-cancelling effect, which is particularly important in class D to remove switching noise. I'm not entirely sure if braiding of the Electrum Audio wire would be possible. Considering this, I thought perhaps Cat5e cable would be a good idea, as I've heard many people rave about this being suitable for speaker cable wire.
Additionally, I've seen many good wire products from both
Percy Audio and
Diyaudiostore, but I'm still rather lost as to what to go for.
In other words, any help/recommendations would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Peter
