Using solid copper Door Bell wire as speaker wire.

When the efficacy of expensive cables or tweaks is challenged by someone who might be considered to be a skeptic about such things, especially where the claimed efficacy seems unexplainable or quantitatively counter-intuitive on the basis of generally recognized science, it is common for responses to be along the lines of "if you haven't tried it, you can't have an opinion."

It seems to me that such a response would be no less applicable to those who would challenge the efficacy of specific inexpensive or DIY cables such as those being discussed here, theoretical considerations about metal purity and other factors notwithstanding.

All I know is I can hear a significant difference between cables on my system, even 12 gauge monster cable from best buy, I can hear a difference between 5ft,6ft, 8 ft even with this cable, going from Tara Labs the one cable system to the zero gold, omega gold, cobalt power cord was a revelation I will not forget, was huge!

Al, you read my minds on that one!!!!

The difference is cheap tweaks are well cheap and less risky.

Expensive tweaks are well expensive and hence more risky unless one is certain of the results beforehand, which is often NOT the case.

By definition, it is NOT the case with a "skeptic".

So one can make of it as they would from there.

The world is full of pseudo skeptics, I mean skeptics.
