    Is the Quadrax significantly better than rondo? I have 10ft cables built out of Rondo for the downstairs setup but the quadrax’s look appealing, just not sure if it’s gonna make enough of a difference to justify spending any more money

    the Quadrax is a much better cable, IMO

    I'll take the whole lot if not already spoken for.

    EDIT: Let me back-up on that. @stangman67 can have first dibs on the Supra Quadrax. I already have some of that, so don't want to be greedy. I think what is being sold here is the molded, not wrapped, version of the Quadrax. Is that correct, Trey?

    So...

    You want all? 👀 Or...?

    This quadrax is molded around the conductors... Not sure of a different kind of quadrax

    I'll give @stangman67 first right of refusal on the Quadrax, but if he declines, then yes, I'll take it all.

    I've seen this 'wrapped' Quadrax for sale as well:

    Either way, though, I'll take the Dueland cables. Those have two conductors, correct...but not necessaribly labeled/distinguished as +/-?

    Man I have never never never seen the quadrax like that... The molded would have much better dampening properties

    Yes the duelund is dual conductor, just have to identify the ends when plugging in

    Will wait to see if he wants the quadrax

    It's also a flat braid, no?
    I've seen it. That is why I thought you were so over the moon over it. That is what I thought you had Trey.

    The quadrax? It's a coax configuration, has the insulated central core but instead of s conductor in the middle it's a string. So the actual conductor wraps around the outside like the shield.

    Really a great. Well constructed wire for the money!

    Were you talking about duelund? They do make a flat ribbon style cable, I've never used it. This is a standard looking cable overall

    No look at the braid in the picture Jody posted.

    The braid is identical to the shielding of a coax cable

    Here ya go:

    The clear 'dielectric' material in the centers gets removed, and then twist the conductor strand bundles together individually, or in pairs, for termination.

    I did them in pairs.

    Yes, Trey, that is an old pic before the external crossovers ;)

    Bare wire is hard to beat!
