Ah, but Don, have you cryogenically treated those wires in liquid Nitrogen so the electrons flow more smoothly along the copper as some Audiophile sites recommend?
I even saw one ad for cryogenically-treated power cords that would deliver a smoother flow of mains power into the amp and so not "turbulate" the audio signals. Silliness reigns everywhere... Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Yes, it is all about Ohm's law, but there *are* some advantages to the "exotic" cables 1) they are usually made with large diameter wires, satisfying the Ohm's law requirement even with higher power amplifiers; and 2) they are quite flexible which makes running them in tight places easier, and they will stand more flexing before the wires break. Other than for those advantages, any piece of wire of a suitable size for the max power involved will do the job - but I do use the lower priced "exotic" cables on my home theater system for the reasons stated. 73, Don W3FPR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
