: I want to make up my own interconnect cables using Intercomp RG58A/U, 20
: awg stranded core & shielded, type CL2 50 ohm. Is this cable ok to use, will I get good sound quality from them? I believe it is silver coated copper strands.
: Thanks....John
get the purest silver you can get (min
99.9% or fine) 28 guage or thinner. thread this though teflon sheathing.
twist the pair and secure with a wrap
of the teflon plumbers tape to keep it
from unraveling. attach connectors and
be amazed. also using three strands and
braiding (ala kimber) also works well.
1 hot and 2 grounds.
i've been doing this for friends for
years (usually finishing them up with
some kind of covering to hide the teflon
tape). They will stare down $250+ cables. YMMV ;-)
