connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal

Thank you Al.  I'm not sure if AZ Absolute ICs are really better in my system or just sound better because of "expectation bias"  - either way outcome is the same  :)

Al (almarg) and kijanki,

I would trust your "expectation bias" over some others so called facts any day.

Thank you both for your contributions to this audio forum. I never stop learning from what the two of you have to say. Sometimes I may not fully understand, but eventually it sinks in.

Thanks again,
Jim

Thank you Jim.  Al is known for his knowledge and willingness to help others.  He is also much better in explaining things.  Al, have you ever been a teacher?

One last thing. Over, I think it is on the Directionality of wire thread, someone posted a link to a largely mathematical article from, I believe it was the Journal of Physics, that described how energy travels down a conductor. The article was used by the posted to support the popular idea that energy travels completely OUTSIDE the wire, not inside the wire. Yet, that very article - in the first couple of paragraphs - states very clearly that energy is traveling both inside the wire AND outside the wire. The mathematics for both energies are subsequently described. I already acknowledged that (some energy travels outside the conductor) might be true a couple of weeks ago. Furthermore, based on that evidence, the mathematical evidence, I hereby declare this current argument a tie. The peer review tribunal can take a break.
