Speaker wire is it science or psychology


I have had the pleasure of working with several audio design engineers. Audio has been both a hobby and occupation for them. I know the engineer that taught Bob Carver how a transistor works. He keeps a file on silly HiFi fads. He like my other friends considers exotic speaker wire to be non-sense. What do you think? Does anyone have any nummeric or even theoretical information that defends the position that speaker wires sound different? I'm talking real science not just saying buzz words like dialectric, skin effect capacitance or inductance.

Steve..... ears are connected to the brain, but obviously not with everybody.... and if Garfish trusts what he hears, he, like the most of us, is having fun and he's learning something new everyday. No stale repetitions of fundamentalist RHUBARB (REDkiwi, I just love that word! )here!
Detlof - I think I remember you posting something about copper wire that can have asymetrical conduction properties. Something about crystals in the wire. It was related to why cables have arrows on them.

Hook your cables up backwards and see how they sound. I bet they will sound terrible to you.

Are we there yet? Welcome to rec.audio.opinion and AudioReview. com cable talk. The thread was dead. Let it rest in peace. If you're interested in Mr. Dunlavy's views they have been discussed at length over and over again on those other forums.
