for the Cat5 Speaker Cable
Clean, uncolored and neutral. These are the finest speaker cables I've ever heard in my system. Great transients, no time smear.In 2000, I switched to CAT-5. (12 pairs not braided but each pair opposite polarity.
My method of braiding is thus: wind the pairs on 3/4 x 6" pvc pipe. Hacksaw one cut in 1 end of each spool to secure the wire.
After winding one pair, pass the unsecured end up through the spool center. The braiding will feed nicely - no tangling.
Now, attach the 3 ends to the seat-back of a bar stool. Sit in Lazy-boy. As the braiding comes together, turn seat-back with your foot to wind cable. I had a great time doing this. Isn't that what it's all about?
This may be a repeat. (My first posting)
Product Weakness: none that I heard Product Strengths: Smooth and listenable
