You are a grown man who is apparently so determined to be "right" that you rely nearly exclusively on logical fallacy. Copper isn't just copper. First of all, there is the purity. Second, the gauge. More importantly, however, is that _no_one_is_debating_the_sound_of_strands_of_copper_. Speaker cable designs have unique geometries and they certainly have unique dielectrics. So, no informed audiophile is on the other side of this argument. If all copper based speaker cables sound the same in a given audio system irrespective of any variations in design, then the problem is with the system components or set-up. Finally, non-audiophiles who dismiss speaker cables as all delivering the same fidelity are also implying that all silver and copper designs will deliver the same result. I would not expect a non-hobbyist to care about these things. Radio Shack zip cord, hit play, hear sound. Done. It would be nice if this forum could be transformed into something productive.
