Good day folks. Quick little discussion I'd like to start here: for whatever reason my boss felt the need to swipe the little soundbar I was using on my bench at work to listen to music, which made me very angry and made me do something about it, since I need my beats when I work...don't judge
What I did was take a Vestel 18AMP 06 (if I'm not mistaken) amplifier module I grabbed out of a dead TV a while back, added a jack input to that, powered it with a laptop power brick and got myself 2 home theater speakers I had lying around at home. Not having any wire on hand to quickly connect the speakers to the amplifier module, I chopped one from a mac charger in half and used that. It sounds excellent considering the price was zero and I'm now rocking the joint again
Question is: laptop power cables are normally shielded and this one was no exception, so would using a shielded cable like this, which is in no way intended for this, to power speakers be considered a bad/irrelevant or perhaps beneficial idea ? Center wire goes to + and the shield goes to -.... I can't imagine it "improving" anything in any way, since I would've seen those "cable scammers" selling overpriced "shielded speaker cables guaranteed to improve bass response" and you know...sh!t like that...just an open discussion here. I'm leaning towards no difference between this and regular "two-wire, black-red" speaker cord.
