Teflon coated silver wire for Bugle input output??

Julien43 · « **on:** 6 Sep 2004, 03:30 am »

I would like to use 36 AWG medicial grade wire for the input/outputs. Is there any special considerations, downsides I should be aware of. I use this stuff in my ICs and they sing in my system. It's not just a matter of what I have around. I'm hoping for a synergy.Any thoughts you may have will be greatlly appreciated!!

36AWG should work fine. I would only suggest you twist the input pairs. They can be really sensitive to hum and other noise pickup.

where would you get some of this wire..? i have seen others recommend this stuff, as well (and i am about to build a bugle :P)...

I used some nice 23 ga. silver from percyaudio.com. I inserted it into teflon tubing.

thanks for the reply, ohenry...

did you end up getting the teflon from thesame supplier as the wire, or did you go someplace else for the teflon..?

I think I did get the teflon there, they do stock it. That wire has one of the highest purity ratings I've seen (7 - 9's). I've made some interconnects using it as well with good results.
