I just need an idea of cross-sectional area and where I can get some
suitable cable. I'm not convinced by the talk of OFC and so on.
Multistranded copper of sufficient thickness is fine by me.
Suggestions please ?

Gale XL-105, 69p/metre at Richer Sounds. Or if you need lots, you can
get the same stuff at CPC for about £20 for a 100m roll (different
name on it, same cable as far as I can tell).

Nice and flexible, doesn't sound bad either.

I googled on Gale XL-105 and one of the web sites said this:
------------------
However, it does have a rather raw quality with some programme material,
and there is a sense akin to stasis at times.
Music simply goes through the motions, but somehow nothing much seems to
happen, and imagery stays firmly locked into the speaker enclosures. It also
sounds rather grainy at times.
---------------------
Which was rather typical of most websites I visited, even Gales themselves.
Significantly, among all of the lurid prose few of the websites mention the
most important parameter, ohms/meter. And even if this is somewhat high on a
long wiring run, how could anybody possibly hear the "raw quality" described
?

I'm wondering if I should set up a business selling gold plated mains cables
with 13A plugs to the more gullible members of the hifi fraternity for
£99.99 a throw? Obviously, I would need to do a course on creative writing
first :-)
