Hookup wire

Post by alanp »

Crocket, use solid core PVC coated wire in wrecks. The Teflon (which I use in Komet style amps and most others) will sound brighter and more prone to microphonics due to the stiffness of the Teflon. Just try flicking the teflon wire in a circuit...it will oscillate like a guitar string. PVC doesn't do that.

Would never have guessed. Wires that do make a difference to the sound!
