Hi, does anyone know who designed Weber Wire Speaker Cable? It was a Threshold product from some time ago.

WeberWire specs*:

Cable Architecture: Ribbon configuration equivalent to 4 gauge
Inductance less than 0.024 uHenry/ft
Resistance: 0.00053 Ohm per foot
Current Capacity: 100 amps rms, 500 amp peak current
Capacitance: 0.02 nanoFarads/ft
Signal transmission: DC to beyond 5 megaHertz

Thanks for your time.

Does it make any particular difference to other and likely more cost-effective solutions? Never heard of them but I don't follow silly cables otoh.

Speaker cables don't need to be "designed". It's just wire.

I'm intrigued nonetheless. 4AWG? That's ~20mm²? Sounds almost like something I'd do just for the hilarity. But it better be thick, round, regular multistrand wire. If I'm gonna use cable that thick, it better look properly industrial. Not gonna deal with some ridiculous ribbon configuration.

Double that for 20mm². That's the real price of 4 AWG copper wire per meter. Not tens of thousands. Roflcopter!

Buy it, strip it, zip it, plug it, pull it, push it, double-weave it. Technologic

"equivalent to 4 gauge"

One would think that at over $125 grand for engineered cables from MIT, Transparent, maybe even Nordost, they have some scientific expertise. Those are out of my means, but people and studios are buying and using them -- Auditioned some Oracles at one point way back when: Went back to Goertz (Alpha-Core Magnetics) because the Oracles were out of my means. Thanks again for your time.

I usually just listen to how accurate cables sound and if the music makes realistic sense. Thanks for your time.

Sounds insane that you "listen to how accurate cables sound" in the first place. I think you're in the wrong forum. Music making sense depends on the music, not the wire. LOL

If you don't mind attending to context: "How accurate in context of the music making sense." Thanks in any event. Take care.

Fixed that for you.

Context? What context? That weird quote is insane.

Otoh if you're an "audiophile" you may already be insane.

The price of 0.00 in that post makes more sense.
