Cable

I use this, and have done for quite a few years

He also sells it unterminated

I use Van Damme 4.0mm Blue, perfectly good enough even with my beefy amp (>500wpc) although just under 5m - and 12m would be 1/3rd of budget

although you mention copper but also Neotech Nemos - I thought they were silver but it may be my lack knowledge?

I mentioned no such thing :grinning:

Indeed it is, so why pay foo prices?
I donā€™t want to start a cable war but am genuinely interested by the above statement and then wanting to buy foo cables?

A little part of me misses the salad days of the Wam when using the word ā€œcableā€ in a thread title was like summoning Beetlejuice. Some cnut that hadnā€™t posted in months would appear within seconds to kick off. Good times, damn good times :upside_down_face:

Some here 6m long. Not my advert just bringing it to your attention.

Thereā€™s no magic in cable itself, just very well understood physics. I had a 30 year professional career, part of which involved specialising in some rather carefully designed signal transport cables. And my signals could be kilovolts and gigahertz. The trade-offs in connectors are harder to be definite about, although even they arenā€™t beyond the wit of man.

If you think you might be struggling to measure something then maybe itā€™s worth saving up for a vector network analyser. If this, for example, canā€™t measure it then thatā€™s because it isnā€™t there.

As far as costing goes I was a buyer and sometimes a self-builder, but Iā€™m not surprised that sellersā€™ pricing models donā€™t reflect their costs. I imagine they are much more driven by what they understand the market will pay. Iā€™m afraid the mark-up on extra metres of cable is never going to be ā€˜smallā€™ though.
