[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 5774680, member: 540940"] Spkr wire - no. Lamp cord from Home Depot will work as well as the RF twisted/braided/fairy-dust enhanced crap. Just make sure it is truly the AWG you need. Signal cables -- I think 10-20 is plenty for a good pair of 12' rca's. For me it's more about the quality of physical construction than any noise rejection marketing. The only rca noise issue I've ever had was solved by routing it a few inches further away from my blower motor. Power and ground -- The main thing is if it's too cheap to believe it's because they're lying about the size. at 10Khz skin depth is .66mm, which is roughly equivalent to using all of a 16 ga wire. At 100khz it's .21mm, so at 20k it's still going to be .50mm or so so there's still really nothing about it worth taking into consideration. [/QUOTE]
