I have never complained that music is more complex. Simply point out that I would not expect a capacitor and resistor and w'e combination of parts to behave the same way with a simple tone vs. a complex musical signal. And I dont' see why we should assume that an amplifier that can produce a simple test tone with less distortion than a different amplifier would have a consistent result with more complex music.
I can tell for a fact that different speaker wire sounds different. I hooked up a ten gauge and a sixteen gauge, about ten feet of each, to a subwoofer. The increased bass response in the ten gauge was easy to hear.
Thanks. Interesting thread.
You wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the generic cable I used and lamp cord. OK, one leg has a marking for positive but otherwise, it is more or less the same.@amirm I was told years ago that basic lamp cord from the hardware store performed the same as (any) speaker cable. I bought some (maybe 16-18AWG?) and have noticed no difference. This would be an interesting test, especially considering these were never intended for audio use/spectrum.
look, this review shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. Everyone knows cables don't change the sound. Cable elevators though...View attachment 126507

But even lamp cord usually has a ridged vs smooth thing
Ah, I wasn't sure exactly what he mean by "zip". Got it (now).That's what amirm used....zip cord/lamp cord. Many do. Audiophiles can be very silly thinking its audio specific.
IMO as long as it's shielded and doesn't have an enormous resistance or capacitance, it's good enough. Sturdy construction will contribute to keeping the conduction points in check (I did broke some 16AWG cables in the past by stepping or pulling on it by accident and wondered where my rear channels had gone). But then a lot of other folks have different idea and can hear stuff I cannot - glad that I cannot hear that actually.
I'm cheap but lazy, so I usually buy from this seller on AMZN:

Not this again. Sure it is an idea. However it has exactly no underlying physics to support it. Even the most basic circuit analysis shows that this is simply wrong. It shows a total lack of understanding of basics of physics. Even mid-grade high school physics will teach you enough to know this is just made up. Not listening in school is not an excuse to continue to pedal this rubbish.
Right I was talking about cables in general. For speaker cables and power cables no shielding neededShielded? This thread is about speaker cable.
Realy?
1. You go against without giving it a try? Why?
2. The idea was tested and proved to work exactly as the physics (calculations) suggest. 100% did.
3. Even when a thicker cable was used, it proved that above the calculated value it won't improve sound.
This was tested and a bunch of happy people all over the world are happy with the results: Israel, Canada, US, Singapore. England and more...
I'll ignore your language and rudeness.

I have well over a century of science behind me in physics research and accepted science. You have a few emails from random people on the internet. You are claiming a specific well understood aspect of fundamental circuit analysis is wrong. Basically saying that scientists from Faraday onwards are wrong and that you have a specific understanding that is greater than theirs. Such things usually involve free trips to Stockholm. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. You have not got that. It isn’t even clear you understand what the physics you claim to be using is.This was tested and a bunch of happy people all over the world are happy with the results: Israel, Canada, US, Singapore.

Yes, I plan to.Can you do a similar test with the Isolda cable ?
