High current power cables

Here is some light reading pertaining to cable design - it’s a worthwhile read

Light is not the word I was thinking of. I have a term for this, a twist on an old standby. It is highly applicable to audio it seems, but happens often with academic types. I call it,

"Baffle them with brilliance."

When you can't put forth a clear and concise argument directly relatable to the topic in discussion to advance your argument, your start throwing out all kinds of technical terms, equations, etc. that sound really impressive, and on the surface seem important. It is often effective on the spot, because refuting it takes time to digest what is being said, but once you do, you realize that nothing about what they said was relevant.  That appears to be the case in what I quickly skimmed in the linked articles. It sounds really brilliant, and it would baffle most audiophiles who would think "this guy really knows his stuff". Perhaps he does. However, in the context of our hobby, it is worthless information meant to advance a sale, while not actually providing any relevant basis for even being in the discussion. Case in point, it worked on you.

Like most things in science, Scott Adams has already covered this syndrome in his Dilbert cartoon however, at least in principle.

Will be up all night thinking about this one.

Please try to stop worrying about power cables.

As long as it is thick enough any power cable does the same job as any other.

Remember the last 6 feet of cable joining your power outlet to your equipment follows miles (literally) of cabling that you mostly don't own.  Your house wiring, the power company fuse (yes all your power has to go through this fuse that you cannot replace), the street wiring back to the 8kV (in the UK) transformer, the supply to that which runs miles probably on pylons, subject to atmospheric and other interference, back to the power station (or windmill).

So how can the last 6 feet countervail all of that?

@deludedaudiophile - There are dozens of sites that all say Solid wire is capable of carrying higher current

E.G. From this link...

Stranded Wire vs Solid Wire. Which One is Best and Why? (electricaltechnology.org)

Advantages of Solid  Wire

• Perfect termination and connection
• High ampacity as compared to stranded wire having the same size (Gauge).
• Clear sound (less noise due to low attenuation) and good transmission performance with high frequencies
• Lesser resistance and anti-corrosive in indoor/outdoor applications
• low voltage drop and suitable for long distance applications
• Less costly as compared to stranded wires.

I Have provided

• the the key points that influance cable design
  • i.e. the Coles notes version 
• I've provided my findings of years of experimenting
• I've provided supporting links to articles of industry leaders in this field
• I've provided the thoughts.findings of many other members that have tried my cables and suported my findings

I guess I'm all out of things to provide.

You cleartly have your own views - that's the glory of free speech.

I guess we'll just have to Agree to Disagree
