There is so much pseudo science and
engineering as to be a prototype for "whacko audiophilia" and many smiles so thanks. But I did want to put in a genuine admiration for Keppertup's hands on experiments based on straightforward parameter changes and rational money. I might look for some of that jewelers wire my own self.
I have yet find better than #12 copper (12 foot lengths) for my system, that I compare to live unamplified acoustic instrument sound that I know well, because I play it. But that is just me.
