Hi-fi Cable Sleeving

Woven silk sleeves for audio cables

black/purple cable sleeving with silver conductor

This speaker cable uses silk as a dielectric with a conductor of 5 x 0.3mm silver. Given that the silver is otherwise uninsulated we wouldn’t suggest doing this – and hooking up your system with it – unless you have a fair idea what issues are involved.

The silk is woven with five channels integral to it’s structure; the centre channel has then been filled with a cotton cord which adds rigidity, damps vibration and separates the two conductors. The end has also been stitched and divided in two for use as a stereo speaker cable.

Of course, we can weave it with more or fewer channels, the channels can be bigger or smaller and the colour can be whatever you decide. [Whether the colour makes a difference to the sound is also for you to decide!]

And yes, you can have your name woven right through it just like a stick of rock.
