Hi all
I have a pair of A40 power amps that have been sitting a couple of years around since before some small members of the family arrived and unfortunately I need to make some space. Before I explore eBay for these I wondered if someone could help me with some speaker cable identification as I really cannot recall what they are, and cannot locate any purchase information. I recall the colours of the banding may identify them? As photos here they have white banding at the amp end. Any clues?

Assuming you bought it from Richard , it could be LS1 or ls3 . It deosnt look thick enough to be a model higher up the range. But I could be wrong.

Unfortunately the only way to be sure is to count the individual cable.

Badger as just put some LS6 up for sale. It could even be that. So my revised opinion is that I don't have a clue.

These were recently sold on e-Bay as LS3, if that's any help.

White heat shrink - as far I know - was only a LS5 identyficator - looks rather old - but speaker cables do not deteriorate with time usually ;]

Surely Heavy metal music wears the cables out sooner because the notes are heavier?

I wouldn't think the storm in Beethoven's 6th Symphony does them much good either.

Thanks all. They were bought 2016, as this is when i bought the amps. I’ll do some more digging.

It's way fatter than my LS1...
