What do you use
Same as your speaker cable or different wire
What do you use in your cubes doc

Thankyou doc
But why the use of different wire from the speaker cable
Is it cost or somthing i dont know about

Internal speaker and amp wiring is very short. NVA speaker cables are not from a reel they are made up from a number of cores. So are built to the length ordered, it would be impossible to feck around with small lengths just for internal wiring. I use the cable listing I gave you for flexible connections, for all others I use 14 16 and 18 SWG (depending on where used) TCW for the wiring that doesn't have to move. For example http://www.rapidonline.com/cables-conne ... wire-62485.

So solid bar if I can and flexible if I can't in both amps and speakers.

Would this be the same/similar to the wiring of my 90's Cube 3's, Doc?

Looks to be a single silver(?) strand.

I don't remember, anyway those speaker had been well fecked around with before you got them. If you like what they sound like don't change it. A foot or two of cable is pretty meaningless unless it is really crap cable like bell wire.

Thanks for that doc very interesting

This explains most of the whys, but this was 1992 I think so some things have changed as in full acrylic cases and ClassII construction but the cable reasoning is the same.

Remember reading that years ago - The above interview and yer old site, was what prompted me to check out NVA gear.

Glad I read it's saved me a wee fortune.

But would any speaker not sound better if it was the same wire from amp to speaker instead off say one make off wire in amp ;;one from amp to speaker sockets ;; then from speaker socket to speaker cone so three different makes\grade off wire
