The AGN II speaker system build

<< < (8/13) > >>

HAL:
The prototype pair of AGN II Open Baffle Planar Line Arrays are assembled and ready for wiring.

Will be using Belden 1309A 14awg stranded wiring to all the planars directly to the monoblock amps.

Hey Rich,

Just curious as to your thoughts on wire. Do your prefer copper, silver, OCC, UPOCC, cryo makes any difference etc.

HAL:
Oxygen free copper stranded has been my favorite.  The OCC version I like as well.

Tried silver and was fine as well, but not a big difference.

P.I.:
Wire is application specific.  In some applications silver sounds much better than copper, in others copper is better than silver.  Then there are those applications where a combo is good.  Question then is: how much silver to copper?  Stranded or solid?

The big wildcard is the wildly different SQ of allegedly "pure silver".  This leads me to wonder if the minor percentages of entrained metallic contaminants are responsible.

For example:  I know the differences between ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants.  Iron sucks.

P.I.:
Rich, I don't want to hijack this thread, so I'll post this here and as a new topic.
