Totem Acoustic Bi-Wire Speaker Cables at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

Totem Acoustic Bi-Wire Speaker Cables are handcrafted speaker cables from Totem Acoustic (Montreal, Canada), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Constructed from linearized oxygen-free silver-plated conductors in a 14-gauge multi-strand twisted pair configuration, the cables are terminated with WBT plugs at both ends for secure, low-resistance connection to bi-wireable speaker terminals. Thick Teflon dielectric shielding makes the cables impervious to oxidation and physical damage and enables long runs through walls and around rooms without signal degradation. Available in 6, 8, 10, and 12-foot lengths and sold in pairs.

Key Features

  • Linearized Oxygen-Free Silver-Plated Conductors: Silver plating on OFC copper optimizes conductivity, minimizes skin effect across the audio frequency range, and prevents oxidation of the conductor surface over time.
  • 14-Gauge Multi-Strand Twisted Pair: Heavy-gauge multi-strand construction lowers DC resistance for low-impedance speaker loads and twisted pair geometry reduces electromagnetic interference pickup.
  • WBT Plugs: WBT silver-solder-grade terminations provide the same low-resistance, high-conductivity connection standard used in Totem's own speaker crossover construction.
  • Thick Teflon Dielectric Shielding: PTFE Teflon jacket eliminates capacitance buildup, resists oxidation, and provides robust physical protection for in-wall or around-room cable routing.
  • No Capacitance Buildup: Teflon dielectric maintains consistent cable impedance and preserves high-frequency extension and spatial ability across any cable length.
  • FT4 Rated Wiring: Fire-retardant FT4 wiring rating enables safe in-wall cable runs compliant with North American building code requirements.
  • Available in 6, 8, 10, and 12-Foot Lengths: Four length options accommodate speaker placement distances from a single bookshelf system to a full multi-channel home theater layout.
  • Sold in Pairs: Each order includes two identical cables for a complete stereo left and right channel connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Totem Acoustic Bi-Wire Speaker Cables?

Totem Acoustic Bi-Wire Speaker Cables are 14-gauge multi-strand twisted pair speaker cables with linearized oxygen-free silver-plated conductors, WBT plug terminations, and thick Teflon dielectric shielding. They are designed for bi-wire connection to Totem speakers with four-way bi-wireable binding posts such as the Bison Monitor, Bison Centre, and Bison Tower. Available in 6, 8, 10, and 12-foot lengths and sold in pairs, with FT4 fire-retardant rating for in-wall installation.

What is the advantage of bi-wiring with these cables?

Bi-wiring connects separate cable runs to the tweeter and woofer binding posts of a speaker, reducing the electrical interaction between the high-frequency and low-frequency driver sections in the crossover. With Totem's four-way bi-wireable speakers such as the Bison Monitor, bi-wiring with these cables allows the tweeter and woofer sections to draw current independently from the amplifier, which can improve bass definition and treble clarity compared to single-wire connection with jumpers.

Where can I order Totem Bi-Wire Cables in Toronto or Canada?

Totem Acoustic Bi-Wire Speaker Cables are available to order at Vinyl Sound, an authorized Totem Acoustic dealer in Toronto, Canada. Please call or email Vinyl Sound to place your order and confirm length and availability. Canada-wide shipping is available.

An important contribution
The historiography of secession is a complex one. For much of the last century there had been a tendency for historians to underplay the importance of slavery as a cause of the American civil war. Certaintly neo-Confederate apologists have sought to euphemize the cause of the conflict to an issue over tariffs, to matters of states rights, or to the "extremism" of the abolitionists. It is quite clear that these excuses will not survive a reading of this book. Sinha clearly shows, in her examination of South Carolina secessionism from nullifaction to fort Sumter, that slavery was the essence of its concerns. To show this she looks at the nullification crisis, the Mexican war, the Compromise of 1850, the South Carolinian movement to reopen the slave trade, and the secession crisis, based on exhaustive research of no less than 137 sets of private papers and diaries. But Sinha wishes not simply to refute the academically unimportant group of neo-Calhounites. She wishes to argue something broader. The South Carolinian defense of slavery was not, as many serious historians suggest today, simply the working out of the Southern American view of liberty. Increasingly, Sinha argues, South Carolina pro-slavery thought was not the expression of Southern Republicanism, but increasingly its very negation. It was not a coincidence that secessionism was strongest in South Carolina, the only state by 1832 where presidential electors and the governor were not popularly elected, where the legislature was crudely malapportioned, and where local offices were limited by the state government. It was also not a coincidence that slaves were a majority of South Carolinians, and slaveholders nearly a majority of South Carolinian whites. And it certainly was not a coincidence that non-slaveholders were noticeably less enthusiastic for nullification, secession in 1851 and secession in 1861. But although Southern nationalist discourse was clearly elitist and pro-slavery, does Sinha show that it was counter-revolutionary? A certain opposition to democracy was evident after all in the many, perhaps most, of the founding fathers. But as Sinha points out leading Carolinians like Calhoun, Senator James Chesnut and the creepy, incestuous James Hammond all sneered at the Declaration of Independence. She quotes one bravado warping PatricK Henry to declare "Give me Slavery or give me death." Notwithstanding the views of some historians to the contrary the South Carolinians criticized the North less for its oppression of wage laborers than the possiblity that those laborers could vote themselves into power. They did not condemn Lincoln as an intolerant Protestant but as a dangerous socialist and feminist. Moreover, they were not slow to raise the Nativist card against the immigrants who were bolstering the North's population. Calhoun's idea of a concurrent majority was not a thoughtful protection of minority rights, but a way to prevent one minority, his own, from ever being outvoted. Once the Confederacy was set up the elite dispensed with political parties. Looking at South Carolina they also began to dispense with competitive elections, while its ruthless elite certainly did not act sentimentally (or even decently) towards opinions on slavery. In conclusion there have been many frauds and bullies in American political life: the Nixons, the Hoovers, the McCarthys, the Tillmans and the Bilbos. But much of their malignancy was purely personal and they never threatened the core ideals of the republic. Calhoun was different, very different. Extremely intelligent, he was also utterly principled, and absolutely ruthless in carrying out that one principle. The problem was that the principle, despite all the complications of honor and paternalism, was slavery. More so than anyone else, Calhoun was the greatest enemy of liberty and freedom the United States ever had. Sinha's book is an important contribution to understanding that.

Wow, this book was so useful
Format: Paperback
This book is so practical, so clearly laid out, so full of useful things. I am honestly in awe that someone took the time to make a book that is this helpful-- I can't imagine how many hours it must have taken to distill all of this knowledge and then present it in a readable way. I am a geologist but not a petrologist, and I had to become a petrologist in a real hurry for a project that I was doing. I was really stumbling through the dark there until this book turned on the light. Never knew I could feel so grateful and indebted to a book about geochemistry.
