Huh?

Anyways, I compared copper to copper and claimed no difference, now you want to bring in wire that has a significant amount of non-copper. Resistance is about the only audibly noticable factor in wire, so of course if you increase the resistance you'll get a audible level difference. If you use sufficient gauge
for the run and power levels where's the difference?

I've done my own listening tests and I sincerly doubt you can tell the difference between a reasonable quality power wire and speaker wire, let alone different speaker wires. But, if you want to spend your money on expensive braided-nut-hair-from-god wire, have at it. However, in a true ABX test I'd put 10 feet of 12g zip cord up against anything.

But, this has been done to death. No doubt you'll continue to think we're tone deaf on this side, and we'll continue to think that you're the proverbial fools who are soon parted from their money.

If you truely believe this, do you use "zip cord" in your car and/or home system? Why do you list Street Wires on your profile if there is no difference in using no name to name brand wire to you? Are you a "fool who is soon parted with your money" or just not sure of what you believe?

I'm relatively sure that the term 'zip cord' refers to any cable with two conductors separated by dielectric... that said Iam also sure that the majority of us use zip cord in our systems...



Its too bad we are so far apart, because Id love to put coat hangers and duct tape against whatever wire you have in a double blind ABX comparison.........

It's pretty and I got it for a reasonable price.
