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

Dear Ganainm,

Please a look at the work of Steve Reeve (image99.net, click on Audio Alchemy) regarding noise created by parallel + and - wires.  Steve’s approach to a solution is different.  I have assembled his cables and they are very good.  My ears prefer the wires being separated by substantial space as opposed to Steve’s Helix (coil) design.

Cheers

At that price, you can be sure it is copper clad aluminum wire.

I purchase solid core (currently AQ biwire works for me) and plug it in...I then listen to music and completely forget about it (the wire, not the music). I am very careful about it being long enough to reach the furthest speaker...hey...I'm a perfectionist.

Mr. geoffkait
You bett right.
On cryogenics or burn inI answered already.
Directionality: Audio is an AC. That means that every 1/2 wave is flowing in the opposite direction of the other 1/2.
Please be kind to explain, who is changing the cables directionality so many times a second...?

>>>Easy question. The reason wire direction matters in an AC circuit is because the signal that is traveling in the “opposite direction” doesn’t matter in terms of what you hear from your speakers. You only hear the signal that is traveling toward the speakers. So you can forget about the 1/2 wave traveling in the opposite direction. That’s why you want the best direction of the wire in the cable or fuse or power cord aiming toward the speakers. That’s precisely why the new Audioquest power cords are “controlled for directionality.” I.e., each tiny strand in the power cord is controlled for directionality.  It’s because direction of wire matters in an AC circuit. Get with the program.

Dill,

You are correct, $23 buys clad aluminum.  Thanks for educating me.

I will order pure copper for $69.

Gratefully yours
