Accuphase all the way down
There seems to be a difference of opinion as to what a ‘shotgunned’ speaker cable looks like.
a). My understanding was that it was two runs of cable (ie a bi-wire configuration) terminated into one pair of plugs at the amp end, and two pairs of plugs at the loudspeaker end, ie to connect to a bi-wireable loudspeaker without using links or jumpers.
b). Others say it is two runs of cable, terminated in one pair of plugs at each end, so if used with a bi wired loudspeaker you’d still need links or jumpers.
I still think I’m right, as the second configuration doesn’t make much practical sense - why not just use two runs of single wire.
But if I’m wrong, what is the generally accepted term for a)?
