How do you know the low frequencies travel in the thick wire and the high frequencies in the thin wire? Have you tried a third medium wire for the mid frequencies?
Thank you for the insight and apologies for the last reply forums are full of insults and side tracking so I just want to get the point across for the sake of others who might come across this post before the haters clutter it.
I did consider trying a 3rd different sized gauge wire but the upgrade from just 2 different sized wires is so pure I`m assuming it`s all there...?
I have no instruments or know how to take readings or I would dive further into it.
The only issues I was hearing is the loss of the more delicate blended frequencies when using only one thickness of wire.
And adding more wires to the RCA / TRS / XLR ends would be very tight but it`s possible.
That would be a brilliant measurement comparison to see if adding another size gauge between 24 and 16 does anything for purity of all the frequencies.
It would be very interesting to see some measurements I`m sure this is catching on I can`t be the only person in the world to have stumbled across this.
I had very large gauge wire for years might have been 12 gauge just stupid size for my application but the copper tarnished inside, after some researching that was totally not helpful at all I tried using only 24 gauge for all of my 5.1 surround speakers except the subwoofer, only later did I realize the sub cable wire was also about that size....
At 1st it was an improvement with the higher frequencies having more detail, I had a sub so I just left it for about 1 year.
My system was all digital sound then no analog pure direct mode being used.
Then I changed to 16 gauge and noticed the bass was much improved but the Higher frequencies lacked the detail.
I started using analog pure direct mode with a for me newly discovered DAC SMSL SU1. The dac added so much purity it made the listening tests a breeze.
After a while the thought just popped in my mind to try both 16 and 24 together to get the best of both.
So after twisting the 16 & 24 wires at one end I wired them to the amp the other end I left apart then wired the 16 to the bind posts of each speaker and touched the 24 gauge to the speaker binding posts and removed them more than a few times after hearing an obvious difference I added 24 gauge to the 16 gauge of the speakers and sat down continuing with more listen tests removing and adding the 24 gauge from the speakers.
After that I realized it`s time to break out the soldering station and upgrade my other connections. After some trials I decided to share my findings.
I now have an upgraded system thanks to this forum as Amirm`s reviews the data measures helped so much that without that insight I would have never tried anything new just to many liars in the audio sales arena it is very frustrating and most are clueless to the truths anyways...
It`s no help most people who wander in are just like I was 25 ish years ago and wind up buying without much extensive research they just want better audio than those TV speakers or something to listen to music with and have no knowledge of the finer details other than plug and play.
New system: D50 III Dac, L70 Analog volume pre amp with B100 mono block power amps, Wharfedale Aura 2 speakers piano black.
