Speaker Cable

[SYKRAPS]

I came across a job today where the speakers are connected using 1mm twin and earth, not being very well versed in this area can you guys list the pros and cons of this "if any".

Should I change this or not? It should bo ok right? I have not seen it working so I don't want any comeback because if the quality is poor when the electric is restored the customer is bound to complain that it used to be better.

Thanks..............

Normally chicken or ducks feet. ...both are a bit short on meat and a bit on the grissely side

I wouldn't be too sure that your not eating cat in the Indian restaurants you use in the UK!! LOL!! It's dog they eat in Asia, not cat!!

Let's face it, all your really tasting is the hot spices they use, not the actual meat and/or veggies in the dish!! lol!!

Now THAT would explain why I have never seen a cat wandering about anywhere near Ocean Road in South Shields. :shocked3:

I'd rather see speakers supplied with twin and earth than a socket supplied with speaker cable.

I was once informed ,in a high street store, that optical cables can be influenced by magnetic fields from speakers and inteference from thermostats and Kettles. More Twaddle..........

The hi-fi industry is full of twaddle. Expensive twaddle though. What about directional cable then? Tell me anyone can tell if the cable is connected the other way round! Daz

Some folk acually beleive this twaddle
So Can someone please explain in VERY technical language why this is so ???
Dont hold back. we are all agog, just waiting for the explanation...

Here you go, make of this what you will.

Having worked around VERY large and mega expensive concert systems all my life, only one thing I know for sure: It doesn't matter how much money you spend, how many hours you spend tweaking this that and the other, how thick or thin your cable is or whether it's gold or platinum and has oxygen or not...... plug an iPod into it and that shoddy cr4p of a format they call MP3 will destroy it in around 128,000th of a second.

On a more practical note, if it's a fixed install then there's nothing wrong with T&E in the slightest. Good way to get rid of any old Red and Black still kicking around. Touring setups normally use 4 or 6mm fine stranded in either 4c or 8c multi's.

Had some very hot curries where you could actually taste the main ingredient in what you were eating

A mate of mine does a very very hot very tasty lobster curry and the flavour of the lobster really comes through the spice

Having said that some regions of China have some very spicy dishes

Seeing as all the hotter spices were the main means in by-gone times to hide the fact that the meat bad or was going off, i find that hard to believe!! On a blind test, i doubt very much if you would be able to even tell what meat you were actually eating!!

As i said i don't eat hot spicy food, i've tried it in the past and all i could taste was the hot spices, which is OK if you like sort of thing. Also tried was was a very light green paste/mustard that the Koreans, Japanese and Chinese use with fish, ...dam that stuff was hot!! ....Spoiled the rest of the evenings meal as i couldn't taste anything after, that except that paste/mustard, it literary killed the taste buds for hours ...lol!!!

You need more practice!
Hot chilli is good for you, gives one an enormous sense of well being.
And you can actually taste the difference between them.

Persevere with the cause...you know it makes sense!

I'm confused now!
