Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?

Nope because the Astronomers can prove with science what they see. 

Ok genius, you see a light in the sky, I don’t. Prove to me “scientifically” you’ve seen it. 

"" Ok genius, you see a light in the sky, I don’t. Prove to me “scientifically” you’ve seen it.
"  Did some work years ago for the Astrophysics Lab in Huntsville at the Marshall Space Flight center. I built some emulsion drying racks and developing tanks for photographic plates flown on balloon flights to the Ionosphere for Cosmic Ray studies. They would stack those plates and put various elements in between them and when cosmic rays hit them there was a series of decreasing size dots. Now depending on where in the stack these showed up they knew how to determine the element that emitted the cosmic ray and which basic direction they came from. I saw the plates and scientific genius at work. Measurable provable evidence.

  And then there is you with your silly counter comment. Kind of reminds me of the kid who stands there with his eyes closed and ears plugged hollering I cant see you or hear you.

Nice answer about that there cosmic rays. Unfortunately nothing to do with the question I asked you.


Now back to my question. How do you “scientifically” prove you see a light in the sky when I don’t?

Put on your glasses, now do you see it.. Prove?

Why does anybody have to prove anything to anybody. That's right they DON'T!

Why cast pearls before swines? You need proof, good for you.

Prove it yourself and post your experience.

People demanding proof.. 

Ask a better question and you just MIGHT get a better answer.

Quality questions = quality answers LESS the fancy attempt to show one's super duper intellect, with SALTY soup and not even a decent word salad.

Time to look in on the chickens.. Skunk is trying to get in the hen house, come on dog..

OK - so far - No one has stated what contributes to a good cable

So if anyone is interested - here is the "Coles Notes" version of what to consider WRT cables...

First the metallurgy...

1. UP-OCC silver will achieve the fastest and most detailed sound
2. Next is UP-OCC copper
3. Five nines silver
4. then OFC copper
5. then everything else

Solid wires will always outperform stranded wires

Plated and alloy wires tend to degrade the performance of the" base" material of that wire - which to some peoples ears sound "smoother" or less articulate

Then the insulations used on the wires

1. Air will provide the most clarity - it is hard to achieve but the closest you can get is bare copper inside a larger teflon tube
2. Cotton is next
3. then Foamed Teflon - like AirLok from VH Audio
4. then Teflon
5. finally anything else - PVC, rubber etc

Finally - Cable geometry

1. Helix (like anticables interconnects)
2. ribbon (i.e. like Nordost)
3. Complex geometries (i.e. like Cardas)
4. braided

So a good cable will "generally" adopt an approach using the higher numbers from each of the sections above in some manner

There are some cables that adopt the "weird science" approach, such as magnets, batteries and liquid cables, but they are highly specialized
