Why so aggressive Roderick - I'm agreeing with you, not arguing.

I'm assuming that it must be possible to install cables of such poor quality
(you said "from B&Q with a decent amount of copper", so poor quality in this
context would presumably mean not enough copper?) that the sound quality
degrades? That doesn't mean that the quality will improve if you add more or
"better" copper once you have enough though. My lights shine as bright as
they ever will with 3amp (or whatever) cable. Installing 150mm sq armoured
won't make them shine (perceivably) any brighter.

Other people have said that for your test, which I'd love to see a hifi bod
take for cables, pebbles AND the clever clocks, you have a certain minimum
spec. I'm simply trying to establish what that spec is, and if it tallies
with my own unscientific view that it'll be "more than telephone extension
cable, but considerably less than 1mm sq flex".

I've used 1mm flex before now, as well as relatively expensive OFC speaker
cable, and I've never heard a scrap of difference. If I can get away with
something even cheaper, I will, so I'm interested to hear your views.

Minimum what exactly?
