EDIT UPDATE SORRY FOR THE MIKSTAKE :
( I made a small error when stating the gauge of wire I used, the print on the wire is hard to see I always thought it was reading 18 but after looking with a magnifier on my cellphone it is indeed a larger 16 gauge
I am very disappointed this was missed I try to be as thorough as possible to keep my honesty solid. )
I have edited below to keep confusion down.
I can`t find any facts or even some persons data from measurements taken using equipment sensitive enough to explain what I`m hearing,
Please consider the many other people who might be reading this before you post an opinion that may have no factual assistance it`s hard enough online as it is, it`s only 1 thread.
Thank you for the consideration.
So what I`m hearing is when I use 24 gauge pure copper speaker wire it appears there are more higher end harmonic frequencies.
When using 16 gauge pure copper speaker wire it appears those higher end harmonic frequencies are less but there are much more lower harmonic frequencies.
This is not a simple one time one song affair that brought me to this experience...
So what I stumbled across was using 24 gauge wire and 16 gauge wire both connected to the posts on the amp and speakers now it appears to me after much critical listening of a variety of only about 5 songs to ensure higher harmonic and lower harmonic frequencies are all brought to the equation is that all are present.
I read some research on skin affect on both posts and speaker wire, but I can`t find any data or discussions on delicate harmonic frequencies vs wire gauge, this is something that needs to be measured and proven from someone with nothing to gain financially as those people will only cause repeated confusion hoping people will just give up and spend money to try and see.....
Google AI won`t help us here it`s just gathers what the majority are spreading and dishes it out to you....
For reference I`m using the Topping PA5 ii amp and the JBL N28 8ohm speakers.
The 16 gauge is on banana connectors that are 24k gold plated brass... ( Innostars brand on amazon)
24 gauge is bare wire to the posts....
I already had the 16 gauge speaker wire and was able to find more 24 gauge wire @ 100 feet for $7 Canadian. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000N7FQD6?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
Hoping for some measurements of these higher end delicate harmonics on varying gauges of wire.
Thank you for your time, don`t feel as though there is an urgent need for a response there is not.
