Which one?andybeau said:the other says RS
The cheapestJohn Duncan said:Yes, understood, but some are 11p a metre and some are £6 a metre, I'm just wondering which one of these standard OFC cables I should be buying.
This is a more appropriate list btw:

There's a formula is there? So all cables are not the same?andybeau said:#John Duncan said:Ah but what are the capacitance and inductance of that 11p a metre stuff, hm? What if I want to run 20m of it in parallel with my mains?
If you want to run 20m go to 4mm or 6mm
Whatever. Did you read my post or just miss the point on purpose?steve_1979 said:Expensive audiophile cables will still not offer any audiable improvement over standard OFC speaker cables though.

Tell me about it JD. I got well done in Maplins the other day. Got some cable for biamping the Tannoys (the ones that wind Max up 'cos they do bass), but six metres of Van Damme stuff cost me about £24. Like totes ripped off.John Duncan said:That's dearer than some QED. Foo! Foo!chebby said:(£74.70 for 25 metres)

To be honest I wouldn't use RS or Maplins very overpriced, but RS was the first non HiFithe record spot said:Tell me about it JD. I got well done in Maplins the other day.

I could've bought easily off Amazon, or gone to the Digitalis Direct store online, but I wanted the stuff there and then, Maplins was fairly close and I wouldn't have to wait for a few days for the stuff to turn up (as often happens especially with Amazon). It was worth the extra £15 for that alone.andybeau said:To be honest I wouldn't use RS or Maplins very overpriced, but RS was the first non HiFi
name that came into my head, and it was tongue in cheek.
You have to love threads on cable don't yah
