Enameled Magnet Wire as speaker cables/wires?

But you have no idea what you "heard" so why should I believe you? Not a matter of "having" to, but simply can't as there's nothing credible to go on.

Well, I have heard a different sound for sure! Not better not worse but it was different. It was in a room for like few minutes. Didn’t sit down and played songs I am familiar with. But there was definitely a different sound.

Magnet wire is made out of copper not a magnetic material. It is used to wind electro- magnetics.
As long as your cables have about the same cross section area (or end-to-end resistance) as commercial cables they will sound the same.

There's an assumption that the magnet wire arrangement doesn't have wildly unusual capacitance or inductance, and the amp isn't sensitive to it. We've seen amps start oscillating with high capacitance cables like litz for example.

You still have jumpers, just very long ones

Frame of reference can be so important.

You know what maybe that happened to me! It was a Yamaha S-301 amplifier at the time. When I heard it, I was scared to hurt something , had to turn off the system and removed the wires and tossed them. Exactly sounded like what that guy on Amazon wrote in his review.

The salt we eat is Sodium chloride (NaCl).99.9% of it. That's a fact. But guess what to me not every salt taste the same. Maybe it is the region, maybe it is the shape but I repeat not every salt taste the same for me. How can I prove that they taste different to me?

How can I prove that they taste different to me?

The exact same way you do in audio, medicine and countless other sciences: a double blind test.

Salt crystals have a size and shape distribution that can be measured. The 0.01% of components that are not NaCl can be measured. All form a scientific basis for causing a difference in taste. What measurable basis do you have for your claim about wires?

It is actually 100% but I said 99.9%. You still don't understand, do you? If salt is salt and according to science all should taste the same. But I say I taste different. Actually, I have more than a double-blind test experience about salt but I will not say it because no matter what I say, you won't get it. Not worth it.

I have but you won't believe me, what is the point?

This is not true. Science does not say it all tastes the same. Different sizes and shapes of crystals will interact with your taste bud receptors differently. Salt fully dissolved in liquid would taste the same. Did your double blind taste test involve solid tasting or liquid tasting?

Scientific testing needs to be done under controlled conditions and results need to be presented in the context of those controlled conditions otherwise it's meaningless.

Different can be a variety of reasons....your inherent bias in an informal sighted test, simple level difference.....hard to know. Wire itself doesn't do the sort of things you describe.
