Slow speaker cables?

"Wouldn't a slower cable slow all parts of signal down, not just one part?"

In a nutshell, probably not. Signal propagation of all sorts, including that associated with a wire conducting an electrical signals, is highly frequency dependent in theory. It's just a matter of how much and whether significant enough to matter or not in any particular case. I believe it is significant enough to matter for many with discerning ears in the case of speaker cables. Even more so in the case of analog ICs. At least, that is my assessment based on my personal listening experiences.

Al, how do you know so much about all of this!?! I see you posting responses to questions all the time here; you seem like a genius to me. Anyways, thanks to everyone else too that helped me get a better understanding of fast vs. slow cables. I had to read Kreallmans first post a few times, scratching my head asking myself "is he being sarcastic", then I read his second post then realized he was joking...lol.

Thanks, B. I have an extensive background in electronic design, both analog and digital, although in defense electronics, not audio. And I've been an audiophile since around 1980. And I enjoy getting into the technical aspects of the hobby.

B- He seems like a genius to most of us.

I second that SW.
