[QUOTE="frikkie, post: 203814, member: 845"] I agree and disagree. Using cabling of a decent gauge and with proper insulation is a must, as is decent terminators that ensure good contact. If you use lamp ripcord with bare ends resting in spring clips, and compare that with thick, high-quality cable with quality bananas or spades, there is no doubt in my mind that there will be a substantial difference. However - IMO once you HAVE good cable properly terminated - then it becomes highly subjective. Good quality copper of a sufficient gauge in high-quality insulation is pretty much the same as any other good quality copper of a sufficient gauge in high-quality insulation. Spending more than R50 or so per meter on quality cable is a waste of money. More money is not gonna buy more cable - maybe very fancy LOOKING cable yes, to justify the price tag, but copper is copper... All IMHO of course. [/QUOTE]
