High current power cables

@deludedaudiophile.

All I can say is that after making hundredas of cables over a 14 year period - each time investigating each of the attributes listed in my previous post and verifying improvements through painstaking observation. - I stand by my words.

Not only that, there are dozens of other members that have tried my recipes and found them to deliver EXACTLY what I had specified they would

There are also dozens, if not hundreds of people worldwide that have benefitted from my cable recipies, from Europe, Eastern Europe, Austria, France, Hong Kong, China, Australia, USA, Canada and a few Nordic countries. And that’s just the people I know about.

Here’s a link to an active thread where dozens of members have tried my cables

Solid wire of the same guage can Carry more current than stranded wire, with less voltage drop.

@williewonka people believe all kinds of crazy things even that the earth is flat because they trust their senses. How does that work out?

Stranded wire same gauge as solid is typically within 5% of the equivalent solid gauge. The don't have the same exact diameter. 5% is not going to make a difference in sound.

@deludedaudiophile - re:

I’m not talking about the difference in diameter of stranded wire vs solid wire,

• its due to the fact that a solid 12 gauge wire has a much higher current carrying capacity than a stranded 12 gauge wire
• This makes solid wire much better at dealing with transient peaks, which can easily be heard
• apparantly, It has to do with the valence electrons moving between the strands, which in turn degrades conductivity and generates heat

No matter how often you repeat something wrong it does not become right. At DC the stranded wire will be within 5% of the solid wire. That is by design. As the frequency goes up you either have inductance which will be the same for both or skin effect. The skin effect will be less for the stranded so it will by any measure be able to handle transients better though being realistic for a power cord they will be the same. That's real physics not the made up stuff you are typing.
