The Naked Truth about Speaker Cables: http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/spkcbl_e.html describes first and second order effects in speaker cables. Skin effect is not negligible at 20kHz and is virtually reducing effective surface of thick cables. Air coil inductance might be of the 3d order at best IMHO. -- evdplancke ------------------------------------------------------------------------ evdplancke's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43147 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93111 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
