Speaker cables

[Yéyé]

Hello everyone,
Is it good idea to replace the original speaker câbles supplied with the WIIM amp ?
Which model is compatible ?
Thanks in advance,

I don't believe the WiiM Amp comes with speaker cables, and the supplied optical and RCA leads (in the main) have been found to be of sufficient quality for many people.

Thank you, you are right.
My question was to know if of speaker câbles were recommanded more other…

No speaker cables included, neither with my WiiM Amp nor my WiiM Amp Pro.

Use cables of appropriate cross section, which depends on the length. Too much cannot hurt. Low electrical resistance is potentially more important with 4 ohm speakers than with 8 ohm speakers.

Make sure to not buy CCA (copper clad aluminium) cables, but pure copper cables. Soldered or crimped connectors (banana plugs or spades) are better than those that are only screwed on.

As far as I know, there is no recommended cable by Wiim. Btw I use Amazon basic 12 gauge cable .

Why would you use a 12 gauge shotgun on your hifi?

These are the ones that I purchased for my Amp.

Linn Silver RCA cost 150... suckers line up at the cash desk, please!

Ideally, the connectors should not contain ferrous material. Unfortunately, you can only test that when you hold the cables in your own hands.

12AWG OFC and pure copper Viborg VB401 plugs.
Lessening the losses is a must if I want to continue use the meager 4W of my poor tube amp!

Now here's how cables for hifi should be: (it's taken from another forum - it's not my setup )

Second the recommendation for Amazon basic speaker cables. Robust and good value. Come with fitted banana plugs as well

This is more worthy of TV news than what's on there now. At least his money won't be eaten up by inflation.

Believe me, he's not alone - naimsters are heavily into big buck spending on equipment and associated bits. They are also fond of Rolexes and Porsches (as far as can be gleaned from threads on such matters).
