yes, I am a convert having sold my expensive speaker cable and now use twin & earth in an active system. I am sorry to report that I use 10mm on the bass which I think sounds better than 2.5mm :D Also, I got rid of my astonishingly expensive interconnects and replaced them with electric...

will this snake oil make my twin & earth cable sound better?

thats why i lsiten to music on cheap cables :D My speaker wire is also twin & earth (don't use the earth ofcourse) my system rivals other sysytems that cost £30k - I know this because I have heard both. I have done this by using diy cables and pro-audio equipment used in studios.

ok

i have had it checked over without going into detail but thanks for the advice. I now know that 6mm flex can be bought as well as 10 and 16mm so it would have been a much easier route to go down. the current being drawn from my system (9 psu in total) is pretty small - no more than 10 amps...

well thanks again for the answer to my original question. I seemed to have caused a number of people considerable distress. To put your minds at ease: Everything I have done so far has been recognized as safe by a qualified electrician. He is coming around later this week which is why I...

there are a number of different wattgates available ranging in price fro £15 to £150!!!! They are rated at 10a upwards and designed to take different size flex cables. Mine are 6mm. It sounds better to my ears even though the equipment is only drawing a small current??

Many thanks for the answer to my original question. I will try the SWA solution. Very interesting point about the over sized cable. I have noticed that at certain times of the day that my hi-fi sounds louder which would correspond with voltage drops or not as the case may be??? Sorry, I...

I am getting the work done and certified for insurance purposes by a qualified electrician. If it sounds better or not is a debate for a hifi forum which is why I posted my question here. Still hoping for an answer - many thanks.

this is not a joke although I would imagine this might seem very odd to anyone reading this. I am a hifi enthusiast and am about to install a 16mm separate spur from my home consumer unit fed by a 40a RCD. This is a recognized way to improve the sound of your hifi system - DON'T ASK :lol...
