Default ZU Wax Speaker Cable (a Kimber basher?)

I don't know about this ZU stuff, but if someone can't hear the
difference between at least some speaker cables then they must either
have low resolution audio equipment or little ability to listen to the
various strands and acoustic of music or just the luck not to have
picked a poor cable. It's some time since I compared speaker cables
but a few years back there were night and day differences on my system
with 3 types I bought and various ones I made up.


Were they all of suitable gauge wire?

Now, interconnects I could believe, differences are much smaller
compared to speaker cables.


Funnily, the only time I've heard a difference is with interconnects on
high impedance valve equipment. And pickups. But there's no magic to this.

With headphone extension cables we're back to night and day
differences, I had to make one myself to get a non-screwed up sound.


Likely the connector. Some jack types are notoriously poor.
