No surprise, back in the day there was a two dollar bottle of wine called "two buck chuck" that wineos would choose over expensive bottles.
Used that copper 18ga red/black zip cord rat shack used to sell for most of my old car audio stuff.
For all the grief they got, shack’s cable was of pretty good quality.
Agree. I use 10ga landscape wire, which is just thick zip cord.
Never needed that much capacity, but yeah. Any good zip cord is fine.
It’s cheap as fuck. When I used to push 250 watts a channel baby cakes. The 12ga is easier to fanagel. But yeah. The good stuff rat shack made that had a goo around the wire. So when you cut it, and stripped it was “self healing” and would seal out the air from backup back up the casing.
Then they made all of them that way when monster started….and 5x the price.
wet mud wet ... mud

Redundant indeed
Well, just never ever use a coat hanger vs a monster cable. That's heresy.

I remember when that test was done. I also remember one where they tested Monster Cable against Romex house wiring. No golden eared audiophile would accept that wire is wire so long as it can carry the signal at the proper power level. Audio rate frequencies are too low to have your cables make any real difference. Now RF signals, well that's a different story.
Good solid 12ga copper wire solves most ills.
I was going to bring up the coat hanger vs monster test. Hilarious. I just used to buy the heavy gauge speaker wire from radio shack and call it a day.
On my old sta’s there is a bypass that is used for preamp. Not sure why tuned it in an amp that is 150-250wats per channel. Anyway those little metal things go missing and the amp don’t work. Use coat hanger to test. Works. Score. I have taken coat hanger and made the tiny things. Basically a C shape.
Can’t do that anymore, but I used to bake in the late 90’s 2000’s. I’d pick up what are now 3000-4000 amps for $50 bucks. They wanted 200, I’d be like for 200 sure you carry this 80lb thing to my car. $50 is fine.
Oh, please, we ar ein idiocracy, the movie
dV is dV regardless of the medium, meaning, the whatever you run electriciy in is a purely resistive load, no distorsion here
you, you need either inductance or equivalent capacitor (then you get a "filter")
If the audiophile was smart, they would focus all their attention on the frequency response of their drivers and amplifiers. The sellers make a killing on silver amd other exotic wires.
Just wait until they understand how DC stopband filters or ground isolators usually work. You are absolutely right that changes in voltage (electric field) is the thing only matters.
