How many would be surprised?

We generally cannot see the actual wire used in our IC’s because of some sort of covering. I recently acquired an XLO Ref 2 balanced IC and these have a clear outer cover exposing the wires inside. Maybe XLO is unique, but the wires used are tiny. With the overall size of the cable you develop a preconceived idea of how big the “cable” is inside the cover.

My JPS SC2 speaker wire can also be seen through its cover, it is quite beefy.

I wonder how many would be surprised to see the actual wire inside their cables?

Aren't thin things more easily broken than thicker things? Sorry if this post is sorta ignorant of the way things work. I know my dealer had some speaker cable he was gonna let go cheap but some of the strands had broken at the strain point when it connected to the speaker.

Don't you risk the same thing with ultra thin IC's? I mean, you gotta manipulate these suckers around all sorts of crap; some of the wires are gonna tear, right?
