connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal
Al (almarg) and kijanki,I would trust your "expectation bias" over some others so called facts any day.Thank you both for your contributions to this audio forum. I never stop learning from what the two of you have to say. Sometimes I may not fully...

almarg7,433 posts 08-23-2017 6:08pmHi Steve,You raise good questions, which get into some complexities that are not obvious."The signal," and the energy that it conveys, is conducted through neither of the conductors. It is conducted in the form ... 
Directionality of wire
Jea48 8-19-2017 Al,Question. Does the hot/signal conductor, of an IC, hold any more importance carrying the audio signal from the source to the load than the ground/return conductor?If yes please explain.If not please explain. almarg: 8/19/17I wou... 
Directionality of wire
@geoffkait Excerpts from your last post. Obviously Bob thinks wire per se is very directional. He actually said extremely directional. The only question is if he’s right the way he places the directional wires in the cable - one wire in one dir...

Directionality of wire
Al, (almarg) response, Yes, I see that now, Jim. He does not say, at least in that thread, that cables are directional; he is just addressing the wire itself. Yet it is also true, as we are saying, that the cable configuration he recommends would ...

@terry9, I ran across this thread. If you have not read it you may find it of interest.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/diy-interconnects-review#Jadem6. 
Directionality of wire
Al, (almarg),Thank you for responding to my earlier post directed to you.If by chance you are still following this thread I have another question for you.I ran across this thread, in the quest of finding more information on dielectrics and how the...
