And the article takes the quote "Unfortunately, these claims are generally unclear in technical terms, and there is a general lack of any reliable analysis or measured data to support the claims." and leaps to the wrong conclusion to satisfy the people who listen to the BS without saying anything important. Seriously, the only case where bi-wiring is a good idea is when you have individual conductors that are too small to carry the required current on their own. This is what a litz wire is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litz_wire -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66796
