Slow speaker cables?


Okay, so what's the deal here? What are you hearing that makes a speaker cable slow or fast? I don't get it. You tellin me that with fast cables, the kick drum is right on time, and with slow cables that it's just a fraction of a millisecond behind, and you can hear that? Huh!?! Wouldn't a slower cable slow all parts of signal down, not just one part? I don't get it.

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.

Thanks Al. That's very generous of you but I'm not about to put your insight to the test. It's off to Wikipedia!LOL. Not really. I'll need a week or so. But I was hoping Kijanki would have continued on another thread regarding skin effect. My research seems to corroborate my experience that replacing power supply wiring with 8awg, 500 strand is a significant overall improvement. My Acoustat TNT amps are already wired this way obviously in order to facilitate electrostats. But I notice a definite benefit even with dynamic speakers after upgrading to this wire. Apparently skin effect diminishes as the number of strands increases in a given gauge of wire until it's cancelled out, thus improving overall conductivity. The result is basically a bigger sound stage, better transients and damping factor. The amp just seems more open and free to perform. Can you concede any of this as factual or is it all in my head?
