Speaker Cable

Alongside interconnects and the mains plug/cable, the speaker cable is another important consideration when looking to get the most out of your expensive hifi equipment. Sold in metre's, speaker cabling tends to vary in price from £0.99 for the cheapest, to £9.99 for the higher end. The metal used for the inner cable is usually copper, or, copper with silver plating, silver plating being the expensive option. A good quality speaker cable should provide increased bass, detail and transparency, while it's protective plastic casing should lower distortion from outside influences. The end of a speaker cable should be clipped every year to replace the exposed oxidised metal with fresh shiny metal, it should help to improve performance.
