I was such a skeptic about wire for quite some time. The cleaner my signal got, the more of a difference I noticed with various types and configurations of wire. I agree with most rational audiophiles that the returns diminish greatly as one travels into farther and farther into esoterica. I have not heard the ultra high end ($thousands to tens of thousands). What I can say is that all 12g copper is not the same. Stranded sounds different than solid core etc. Silver is another animal. I have a fair amount of it in internal amp and speaker wiring and interconnects. If it cost the same as copper I would certainly have speaker wire made from it.
I have even heard differences with wire on my sub woofer! -- earwaxer9 System: modified Winsome Labs Mouse, modified Maggie MMG's, Transporter, HSU sub 12, MSB DAC to 500 watt sub slave amp, JPS labs power cords, Silver audio interconnect, Audioquest Granite speaker cable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ earwaxer9's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39527 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86298 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
