Audio Note AN-CABLE-600a, AN-La speaker cable

Audio Note's litz version of the AN-CABLE-550, double-stranded, as in one length can connect to one speaker (2 conductors). Screened 6N litz copper speaker wire. Black outer sleeving. Outer dimensions are 5.75mm height x 12.5mm width. Audio Notes suggests that all screened sections are removed at both ends.

Litz is composed of very fine strands of high purity copper wire insulated from each other with a fine polyeurthane coating, then bundled to form a larger gauge wire. The varnish on each strand must be scrapped off before a good solder joint can be achieved. You can flatten the wire, then use a single-edged razor blade held 85-90 degrees to "shave" the varnish off the wire. After removing most of the varnish, use a 40-watt solder iron and a bit of solder to burn off the rest. A scum will bubble up and harden after the wire cools off. A solder pot can also be used to burn the varnish off.

This wire is also available in offcut lengths at a discounted amount here

Sold in multiples of 1 metre (mono, for one speaker), supplied in one continuous length.
