I keep seeing Supra Rondo popping up.
Wouldn't a 12 AWG oxygen free copper, nice quality speaker wire give better results than stock in a vintage speaker? Maybe not Rondo results, but audible?
The price of Rondo is... a lot if you've got a lot of internal wire.The Thrifty Setups in Mah House Big thrifty stereo in the basement w/ my custom SDA-1C (built with help from kind forum members) * Beautiful 1966 MCM GE console upgraded w/ Bluetooth, Dual turntable, and Paradigm speakers in family room * Swanky 1980 Realistic system and great TEAC eq with dancing colored lights in the living room * custom 5B on a system for my Dad * Ye Olde college stereo in the garage -

No. Clear jacket stuff will turn green in just a few years and cause a problem. the jacket itself allows air to come in through the jacket itself. The Rondo has a different jacket and the wire is plated to not corrode.
In mine I used a OCC silver plated copper hook up wire. It was hard to work with being 14ga but worth it in the end.

It won't matter what wire is used because he wants to line the interior of the cabinet with Dynamat.Political Correctness'.........defined
