you may be able to hear the difference if you can also find the G-Spot
for everyone else there's MasterCard.
I wish I had data to back this up, but I did feel there was a difference with subwoofers I wired with Cat5 over an 8 foot run vs some ordinary 16 awg? CCA wire. Resistance wise? The all copper Solid core Cat5 had less resistance then the same Homedepot CCA wire when split into 2 pairs with 4 strands each. But my head FEELS it sounds better or is made to be there.
the mind is a really weird thing.
so what happened was actually true but for reasons other than the quality or the type of wire are used.
what was happening is I was not getting a good connection with the spring clip terminals cups, this was the magic that was happening with the common Home Depot CCa a speaker wire.
I think most of the difference is that people actually are able to hear really come down to the fact that your actual terminations are to blame for the Sonic differences that some people even I claimed to have heard when changing wire. for me it was down to a bad connection. so what I heard was actually happening but not for the sole reason that I changed wires.
I think the saying is the truth is wrapped up in a lie or the lies wrapped up in the truth either way... there is some truth in changing or upgrading your cabling. but no one seems to talk about the real problems that occur with speaker wiring such as the actual dielectric starting to eat away at the actual wire itself corroding.
the other that I found was simply some bad Crimps on some OEM speakers that I purchased.
it has been my experience that those that report a actual upgrade from hearing something like a cable upgrade within a speaker are usually pointing to a fact of a bad internal connection or an intermittent one. the easy and cheap way to deal with this is centrally soldering your speaker terminal connections directly to the wire used inside unlike the Spade connectors which do overtime loosen due to vibrations in the enclosure.
if you live in a high humidity environment? in your speakers are probably 5 to 10 years old it wouldn't be a bad idea to just take a quick look at them for the sake of maintenance.
in my experience the most common culprit is actual degradation of the wire due to corrosion.
this was apparent on some speaker cables where the dielectric was causing a chemical reaction and then corroding the wire from inside the jacket.
a quick way to test this is to physically handle the wires and if they seem somewhat stiff ? that's a valid reason to upgrade your wiring.
for all of the instances as far as I can tell? it's kind of like faking an orgasm.
everyone's happy with the results in the end.
