An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables


There are many here who have never heard differences in cables, I was there years ago until I read a post of someone preferring the sound of 28 awg magnet wires for speaker cables. I quickly drove out to my local Radio Shack and picked up magnet wires of various sizes (22-28 awg) to hear what it sounds like. I remember this being a fun experiment and a really cheap one that taught me a thing or two, I've gone on to experience many other cable designs over the years.

***Run two insulated magnet wire to each speaker (one for positive, one for negative) and use them in place of your existing speaker cable, the insulation on magnet wires are very thin and a little difficult to strip, sandpapering the tips may work. Connect them to the binding posts on your amp and speakers and let us know what you hear?
(Amazon also carries various sizes of magnet wires)

I guess I could try 12awg magnet wire which is the same as my speaker cable. But I see no reason to use 24 or 28 awg for a fair comparison. Of course I could try stranded magnet wire better known as Litz wire. Might be fun to give square magnet wire a shot.
