Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects?
It is amazing how different lengths, gauge and conductor type can have such an impact on the sound. Not to mention, stranding, twisting, looping, and then the dialectic, shielding and all the other variables. Oh, how I wish I had the Synergistic Research capabilities...I would probably try 2+ million volts! ozzy |
@ozzy everything matters, including things we don’t know how to control, or even check for. |
A note on the 18awg VH Audio COPPER airloc that people keep pushing. Yes, this wire will work fine and sound very clean, but you are STILL going to lose high frequency extension. I've done lots of testing with this VH Audio wire. The 18awg COPPER is too big for full range sound. The 21awg COPPER is okay, but too small to give an open sound with powerful bass. If you want to go 18awg, the SILVER VH Audio airloc is really good, but very expensive. For analog interconnect, I would do a combo 18awg + 21awg copper to cover the entire range. Otherwise, use 20awg Neotech teflon hookup wire. |
