The quality of the speaker cables in a Hi-Fi system should be considered as important as any other signal cable, and as such install the best quality cable your budget will allow.
Type 4's roots go all the way back to the late 80s. The fundamental geometry and conductor compliment of Type 4 hasn't changed since 1995 because any change to the size or position of the 4-Series' 2-sized Spread-Spectrum conductor arrangement would reduce performance. Type 4 employs Carbon-Loaded insulation (absorbs RF) on the negative conductors and Nitrogen-Injected PE (minimal dielectric involvement) on the positive conductors. In addition, Type 4 includes all Solid Long-GrainCcopper (LGC) conductors.
The speaker cable model Type 4 was first introduced about 1983. It wasn’t the prettiest cable, but the performance advantage of its polypropylene insulation was dramatic and much appreciated. Several evolutionary steps later, the current version of Type 4 was introduced in 1995—a design whose foundation is so well balanced that it hasn’t changed since then—and still isn’t changing.Types 5 Low-Distortion & Low-Noise speaker cable is essentially Type 4 with better metal, and with conductors that are a little farther apart, reducing interaction between adjacent conductors by 35%.Solid Perfect-Surface+ Sonic-Signature ConductorsCarbon-Loading and Direction-Controlled ConductorsStar-Quad Geometry
Type 9 Low-Distortion & Low-Noise speaker cable is essentially Type 4 with better metal in combination with added layers and techniques of Noise-Dissipation for more effective noise control than any previous Type 4 iteration.
