| Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway. Not very well if the wire is of type 1) distributed (carbon core) or 2) fixed resistor. They have more resistance than copper to reduce RFI interference. It does not matter at 100,000 volts in the car but it does in an amplifier. | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? Cable raiser manufacturers also sell a special gas mixture in pressurized tubes which you spray in front of the speakers which increases the frequency response to from -50hz to +1 megahertz. Especially the negative frequencies are of enormous imp... | |

| How to guarantee to lower noise- ground loops in your system Ground loops occur when the resistance between any two or more grounding points is high enough to cause enough of a voltage drop to be detected & amplified. To reduce this:1) Attach ALL your devices that handle signal circuits to a STAR config... | |
