Zipcord is very commonly used as speaker cable. It is commonly said
that multiple runs of zipcord make very good speaker cable. This may
or may not be true. It is worthy of investigation. Considering the
popularity of zipcord as an alternative to high-priced proprietary
formulations, I would have liked to see how it measured.

Arny,
I can't access it. Perhaps the server hit it's limit. I will try
later. Perhaps you would summarize?

The author writes:

"The effects of 3.1-m cables are subtle, so many situations may not warrant
the use of special cables. Low- inductance cables will provide the best
performance when driving reactive loads, especially with amplifiers having
low damping factor, and when flat response is critical, when long cable
lengths are required, or when perfection is sought. Though not as linear as
flat cables, 12 AWG wire works well and exceeds the high-fre- of discussions
and rebuttals can be found referencing frequency performance of other
two-conductor cables tested. By the way, keep the auto jumper cables in the
garage!"

BTW, the author Fred E. Davis is among the people that Middius and his crowd
chased off of RAO.
