Steve, your posts have been popping up on this subject alot lately. Are you on a crusade? I am suspicious of anyone who only talks about one topic on these threads. Your ONLY topic seems to be wires and I'm guessing that you just want to exercise your debating skills. Well, whatever you think, I CAN hear a difference between power cables, speaker wires, and interconnects. Maybe you and your friends systems or ears just aren't as good as mine (and many others)?
Speaker wire is it science or psychology
I have had the pleasure of working with several audio design engineers. Audio has been both a hobby and occupation for them. I know the engineer that taught Bob Carver how a transistor works. He keeps a file on silly HiFi fads. He like my other friends considers exotic speaker wire to be non-sense. What do you think? Does anyone have any nummeric or even theoretical information that defends the position that speaker wires sound different? I'm talking real science not just saying buzz words like dialectric, skin effect capacitance or inductance.
