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.

"My point is why pay for all the fancy wire when in the end the signal has to pass through a connecter and then a speaker terminal. Any perceived advantage of pure exotic copper or intricate twisting of the wire or insulators is a total waste."

Check out Enklein Cables especially the David, but hang on to your wallet.

Inferior PCB layout too - shortcuts add up
@kosst_amojan Actually 2 I know of. The company your thinking of is Onda, which is now closed, I own 2 pairs of their Rush interconnects.

The other company, which pioneered the idea is PSC out of Australia
Super expensive at 55K for a 2 meter pair.

A connection free conductor sounds superb, I am surprised more high end manufacturers do not take this approach.   
I just want thank you all for the funniest posts on audio let alone cables I’ve read! I’ve gone to church and transcended reality, a big thank you for my happy moment.

Oh I use TimePortal cables as much as possible. I’m so into EMI/RFI control and am very happy with my gold plated terminals and the results. Bring on the music.
i'm sure you're right and it is so logical, also read the same from elsewhere... the only thing is to make sure your cable is properly protected from oxidation. i think we should all use bare silver/gold plated cable ends
