Thinking out of the box here. It might make some defensive


I was thinking, that all the different wire constructions and purities is pointless if they are tied to a connecter. How can the signal carry the purist signal when it has to be compromised by the mercy of a connecter. Why not make a solid wire out of the connecter and use the bare wire for the connecter? Same end result. I’m not an engineer but it seems to me it would sound the same. Right? The end product is only as good as its weakest link. I’m beginning to think speaker cables are too over rated . I switched out my $1500 cables for some 10 gauge $20 copper wire with bare ends and I will say if there was any difference it was slight. I do know my amp doesn’t clip like it used too. And music is louder and more dynamic. I tried some 12 gauge and couldn’t tell any difference from the 10. And yes all the cable lengths were 8 foot. If you want the purist signal then you would have to take the wire and run it right through the speaker and bypass the terminals. So my question to the electrical educated members here is how can the signal arrive intact if it has to be transmitted through a connecter and then to the speaker terminals. It makes me think speaker wire is not all that important. I’m just saying. I don’t mean to be starting a war here.

Been studies showing that because Engineering is such a difficult college major, engineers are very unlikely to vary from what they have been taught even if is found not to be so .
Will you please tell us about those studies? Who conducted them? Where can we get details?

In order of closed mindedness, from most closed mind to least closed mind,

Amplifier designers
Physics majors and PhDs
Physics professors
History professors
Neuroscience majors
Electrical Engineers
Audio Reviewers
English majors
Aerospace Engineers
High school graduates
High school dropouts


I never would of thought you were a high-school dropout  geoffkait  !

I was when I  went into Army at 16 .
But then I got closed minded with my History Phd .
Ooops! My bad. 🤡 I would never have guessed.

I’m so open minded my brain fell out onto the floor and made a big mess. 🧠 I had to clean it up with a squeegee.

I didn’t join the Army mainly because it’s practically impossible to coordinate with khaki. ✌️
cleeds , you could if I had kept a diary on the thousands of studies I read
before I retired . Perhaps you could google something ?
