Back in the 1970s, my stereo system's sound seemed to gradually get garbled. I assumed it was the electronics going bad, but I eventually discovered the culprit was massive corrosion on the copper strands of the zip cord I was using as speaker wires. (Now all the copper speaker wire is OFC, so that's no longer a concern.)
I haven't tried real megabuck speaker wire, but among various wires I've heard under about $5 a foot, the differences are subtle. I clearly believe that speaker wires can sound slightly different, but different does not necessarily mean better. I think it's mostly a matter of synergy with a particular amp and speakers. And the point of diminishing returns comes pretty early in the price curve. -- TiredLegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TiredLegs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86298 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
