No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need


It goes back to cable manufaturars, mostly provide no relevant data! to sales and the users. None will answer this!
Whay do you think that you own now the optimal cable to your setup?
I think I've figured it out.

Are you using 0g XLR cables? NO. Are CAT6 ethernet cables built from 8g? NO. Are USB cables as big as my arm? NO. You’re proving my point, not refuting it! You can jam crazy high alternating voltages down a thin conductor with negligible impedance, and it’s generally preferable to do so. That’s why utility companies do it. 

As for your calculator... Learn how to read it. You’re looking at the wrong value. You’re quoting the skin depth impedance, not the full diameter impedance. It’s pretty freaking obvious. That’s why the number you quote is such a small figure and hardly changes with length.

Nelson Pass did the measurements and they’re not even close to the stuff you’re saying. I’m going to trust his actual measurements a little bit more than your misinterpreted internet calculator speculation.

A short reminder: This thread is about speakers cables. 

No LAN cat 6, No balanced interconnects (XLR) or any other.

Until you answer my Q. don't expect to be answered.

With all the respect to Mr. Nelson Pass he went the wrong path. No one here approved his cable sounds better than other, but mine did.  


"With all the respect to Mr. Nelson Pass he went the wrong path."
- Now that's rich, have you any idea what he has accomplished?

"No one here approved his cable sounds better than other, but mine did."
- Nelson Pass doesn't make cables. You have stated 6 people have tried your "secret formula", only the ones that have shared their results on this thread have standing. The others are hearsay. Why don't you reveal your formula?

This has been an entertaining read.

The thread title was enough to know what's coming...

What kind of "relavent data" is necessary? What is a manufacturer expected to answer?

5 pages of comment, and  no real direction from the OP.
Just subjective opinion and know it all responses to everything.

With the OP's vast knowledge, he should know he isn't going to get the answers he's looking for.

Audio madness on display.
