Of course to simplify all this just get some Canare 4s11 or other good copper speaker wire and stop obsessing.
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
G'DAY
I’ve spent a sizeable amount of the last year putting together this white paper: The Sound of Music and Error in Your Speaker Cables
Yes, I’ve done it for all the naysayers but mainly for all the cable advocates that know how you connect your separates determines the level of accuracy you can part from your system.
I’ve often theorized what is happening but now, here is some proof of what we are indeed hearing in speaker cables caused by the mismatch between the characteristic impedance of the speaker cable and the loudspeaker impedance.
I’ve included the circuit so you can build and test this out for yourselves.
Let the fun begin

Transmission line doesn't matter at audio frequency. http://www.ee.ic.ac.uk/hp/staff/dmb/courses/ccts1/01700_LinesA.pdf |
Is this the same cable? https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/townsend-isolda-cable.7109/ |
Skin effect in audio cables is nothing to concern yourself about it's not like we're talking about miles of wire. I don't see any need for a liquid cable either. What, fill a tube with mercury? This is goofy as well, all that's needed for audio frequency within home audio is a good grade copper wire with appropriate insulation. |
