I talked on the phone with a chap today who
told me he had a very good idea for a high-end
loudspeaker cable.

It was based upon some thick twin co-axial with
two separate shields. He had then connected
the screen of the left wire to the inner of the right
wire, and the inner of the left wire to the screen
of the right wire. He made a cable like this for
both channels, and inserted it onto a 12mm
armoured hose-pipe, with Raychem 15mm shrink
sleeving at each end and "gold" terminals bought
from a car audio shop. He added, "I have found
there are great sonic advantages in this method"

There followed a long silence, and I, not knowing
quite what to say, replied: "Hmm! Interesting!
You might have something there. You
should make a quantity. It might sell well".

He replied: "I have. It does. At Euro 25 a metre!"

Hi Iain,

Interesting. Max Townsend used to market speaker cable using several
paralleled co-axial cables, I believe it was a bit unwieldy when trying to
connect, probably not much harder than my Cogan Hall copper pipe 'cables'
;~)

Hello Mike. Nice to har from you:-)
I am sure this is not an original idea. I take no sides in the cable debate
whatsoever. Let people buy what makes them happy.

Iain
