@williewonka Siegfried Linkwitz, who knew a thing or two about audio engineering, used 14 gauge zip cord. Given that my Linkwitz Orions use four channels of amplification on each side, with 25 foot cable runs to each side, 200 feet of anything other than zip cord would require taking a new line of credit on the house. Few audiophile visitors leave my home without some amount of envy.
Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?
They’re some pricey cables that have claim to fame because of the high tech geometry used in their cables.
Many of these cables have patents on specific geometry patterns used in their cables and use this as a reason their cables sound so good. For that reason, many say the reason their cables cost so much is they’re so complex . The man hours to make a pr results in their high price. That maybe true for some cables, but I’ve seen very pricey cables using the same geometry reason that look like a thin piece of wire rapped in outer jacket no thicker than a pencil. So,Is all this geometry just another way to justify their cost or is it true science that we are paying in the end?
