These numbers are based on studies on what amount of frequency losses are audible. But lower the 5% to whatever percentage you want. There will be some sufficient choice of gauge for whatever percentage you choose. The second article has a formula for computing insertion loss. So choose a value for insertion loss that is acceptable to you and plug in the minumum impedance of your speakers and the resistance of your wire. You can find wire resistance for various gauges 'here' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge). Personally I find it easier to work with 14AWG or less. -- Daverz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Daverz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86298 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
