Why would I do that? I use wire of perfectly adequate size for my speakers' impedance minima (16AWG). As it happens, a mil-spec silver-plated copper with teflon jacket like the Decware above, which I picked solely because it is the thinnest-jacket and thus thinnest-overall-diameter wire out there for a given gauge, and thinner wires are easy to conceal along baseboards and such.
Shame. Although, comparison of a 25 ohm Z #17awg vs a 120-150 ohm Z #17awg is not very interesting..Thanks, jn.
Unfortunately, I don't think anyone built the cables and listened to them.
I've seen that stuff before. Simulations and measurements which say "too small to be audible".This was as a result of another thread on cable theory where through simulations we conclusively "proved" that while there was a difference in measurements, these measurements would be "too small to be audible".
Interesting. I AM one of the measurement crowd..Thanks, jn. That sounds like a great test. Well thought out.... finding the matching speakers would be tough because crossover components typically vary by 10% or more and the drivers even more. Matching three loudspeakers for this to be truly representative will be tough as it can be argued that the speaker is going to swamp the differences of the cable. I gave up arguing against the measurement crowd a while ago.
Ah, I believe I recall a reference to Kunchur's work. I am not happy with his test setup, as the driver motion alters vertical dispersion patterns, and I believe that confounder was ignored. I consider conclusions based on work where confounders were ignored as suspect. (not right nor wrong, just suspect).In one of the Tech Talks threads, I linked to a research paper on temporal resolution of our ears. I don't think that it got to 2 uSec, but definitely 5 uSec can be discriminated by most subjects.
