Thinking out of the box here. It might make some defensive


I was thinking, that all the different wire constructions and purities is pointless if they are tied to a connecter. How can the signal carry the purist signal when it has to be compromised by the mercy of a connecter. Why not make a solid wire out of the connecter and use the bare wire for the connecter? Same end result. I’m not an engineer but it seems to me it would sound the same. Right? The end product is only as good as its weakest link. I’m beginning to think speaker cables are too over rated . I switched out my $1500 cables for some 10 gauge $20 copper wire with bare ends and I will say if there was any difference it was slight. I do know my amp doesn’t clip like it used too. And music is louder and more dynamic. I tried some 12 gauge and couldn’t tell any difference from the 10. And yes all the cable lengths were 8 foot. If you want the purist signal then you would have to take the wire and run it right through the speaker and bypass the terminals. So my question to the electrical educated members here is how can the signal arrive intact if it has to be transmitted through a connecter and then to the speaker terminals. It makes me think speaker wire is not all that important. I’m just saying. I don’t mean to be starting a war here.

Iwal22. Was that 2nd session at the same time of the week as the first one? Power to the home fluctuates in its quality as most agree on. Was the people’s mood in the 2nd session happy? Like the celebration of a birthday? Job promotion? Birth of a grand daughter etc. Just saying our preceptions of events is influenced by our state of mind or by intentionally altering it.  Also just taking the cables off and putting another on can disapate a static charge. Changing cables can also clean the contacts. Also was the temperature and humidity in the room the same? I find that alone has a dramatic effect on the sound. Time and time again every season I always find music sounds better in the winter with the humidifier running. Oh but some people think my hearing isn’t too good.  Yes I’m biased against the expensive speaker cables that I took out.  So tell me about a good speaker wire with bare endsthat won’t cost a lot and I might try it but they must have a return policy.
So, it’s more kind of a belief thing as opposed to experimentation or experience. Interesting. 🤡
I think you are right geoff, why waste time gaining experience or actually experimenting when one can play the "snake oil" card?
