Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables
I agree with small gauge wire!  From the picture in the link it looks that one channel is twisted and hence the whole construction might just be star quad (which I like on paper). Question is really what "small awg" really means? Audioquest Type ...

I appreciate all the input. But please stick to my ask and talk about solid core design      
Looking for Solid Core Speaker cables
Thanks for all the input. There are so many exotic and cool designs I did not know of. So appreciate all the input. First, and I did not mention before, I need 3 runs of 21' and 3 runs of 13' of cable. Yes, I tri-amp each speaker which has 3 driv...

Interesting, thanks. I also consider similar designs to Type 4, e.g. twisted pair or star quad.    
What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase?
There are speakers and then there are music system. I dont have an answer for the first, but if you are looking to get a music system, then go for Tocaro!!  
We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes

BS meter is pegged!
The picture in the review reveals that it has a ASRock motherboard...so all hardware is plain vanilla, even the LPS is not exotic as an idea. Many others have done that. And an optimized OS, likely linux? Again, what many others do, like PinkFaun ...

Speaker and interconnects you can discuss, but for data cables?? There are specs. Running an out of spec cable and claiming it sounds better…?!?! this is entirely adequate https://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/data-cables/index.htm unless people...

BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS
Any Tocaro. Not just high sensitivity but they „excite aiir“  rather than pump air. Always wonder if you see membranes moving. Even at ear shattering loudness they hardly move. But just „explode“ at low levels.    Tocaro from Germany. No marketin... 
Is anyone here still into live concerts these days?
When I grew up, the word “concert” was strictly for classical music. A Kiss “concert” was rather a headbanging party.    I saw Bb king, Cher, Sting and other big names live. But yeah, still going regularly to the Dallas Symphony. Pinchas Zukerman...
