The Science of Cables

Pretty sure that it is the corrosion resistance of OFC that makes it the material of choice.

Is there an acknowledgment of the impact of AWG? Do our skeptics ever compare cables of similar conductor for differences sonically between higher and lower AWG? 

It’s interesting that mr Miller can actually say l/C/R/ impedance measurements have nothing to do with the way cables sound. When the companies spend millions developing components and materials that effect all those measurements. The point is they do.

In “my” opinion here’s the difference. The difference is your ears or my ears or Bill’s ears or Mike’s ears. So, if you spend a lot of money before you hear them then money doesn’t mean anything. I will gladly admit my ears are to old to be a very good critic,  so to me measurements make sense. Many people will NEVER admit that they don’t trust their ears. Those same people will NEVER submit to blind tests. I’m also familiar with all electronics having a sound signature, because everything DOES! Those include, tubes, audio transformers,  amps, preamps, coupling   capacitors, hook-up wire, resisters, connectors, audio jacks and plugs.  So if you buy the best of everything theoretically you should have the best sound! But can your ears hear the difference?? 

Example:  My relatives live in Northern California and love their Sonoma, Napa wines,  ( and they should),  but will never submit to blind tasting if it’s California  wine, it’s the best as soon as they see the label! Needless to say being from the Northwest I don’t buy California wines! Ha 

Some audiophiles only read the labels and  dole out the money. .......Foolish 

They will never submit to blind tests? Wow, I didn’t see that coming! 😛

Science is not used to explain cables for the same reason it is not used to explain creationism.

Well as long as we are playing with the precision that the use of science implies I should note that science, in point of fact, is often used to explain creationism.
