RE: Free wire size calculator for your audio system

The reason for the chatter Sailor is that those who have actually tried the thin gauge (and there is more to it than just gauge- solid core has a lot to do with it) know that there is magic in those wires.

Any fat wire just mucks up the sound IME. There is a purity and clarity that one gets with thin solid core that is addicting, and once you hear your system clean, well you just cant go back.

And that site is off a bit isnt it. See it leaves out the HUNDREDS of feet of thin wire that comprise the mags themselves. Try adding in a 100ft of 28g for the panels themselves and see what that does to the listings on that chart.

What I fail to understand is how 5ft of 12g wire lets all kind of current through according to that site when there is so much thin wire after the 5ft of 12g. Hundreds of ft in many models.

If you have any kind of reasonable audiophile runs say under 10ft, take the 6$ challenge, and buy some ratshack magwire and wire it up. Let us know what you think.
