Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality?


Increasing speaker cable size (for example w/AQ the cable sizes move up in size from 15AWG to 10AWG) improve sound quality?

I'm loving my Denon DCD-1700NE. It plays CD, SACD and DVD-R with high-res files.

However, I have added a major tweak that that fixes a serious omission. In fact, I believe almost all manufacturers don't understand the implication of this oversight.

We all understand the importance of clean power with shielded cables. The same with shielded interconnects.

Once the power is inside the component, shielding is still necessary and is perhaps just as important, if not more so.

Here's my Denon with shielding.

 

This is hard to beat.

Wire Gauge: 16 AWG
Capacitance: 35pF/m
Inductance: 0.52 µH/m
