Any other configuration will be a waste of money and doesn't make any improvement. |

I have my own ideas of what is "right", however, I wouldn't discourage anyone from experimenting. Experience is the best teacher. Let the guy try six strands if he wants...DIY is supposed to be fun, and experimentation is fun, he can always rebuild the cable if he doesn't like six strands, after all, he is DIY'ing the cable. Even if he ruins the wire and the experiment is a bust, so what? The wire still costs less than a half decent bottle of single malt... Peace, Lee |

Some of us, especially those of use who make a living from the audio industry, forget that sometimes. Life's a journey, don't die saying, "I wish I would have".
