Nope, "we" don't - if your "we" includes me . That was the point of my
posting. Sorry if you don't understand that.


Relax, it was only a 'device' to enable me to jump from mains leads to
speaker cables to better make the point that, with or without the
'science' (ie measurements et al) to support or deny it, there exists an
overriding, *conventional wisdom* that will usually allow people to act
independently of any evidence provided by such science.

In the case of speaker wires, that is manifested in all sorts of tricky
stuff like various magic numbers of wire strands (79 is a popular one),
increasing wire cross-sections, extremely exotic and expensive materials
employed &c. My point with the single strand of wire (which has been
going strong all day and is still) is that whatever the measurements
might show, when the single strand is compared with a normal 'fullsize'
speaker wire, *nobody* is going to choose it as the preferable route to
take even if, like me, they couldn't detect any change in the sound
whatsoever - deleterious or otherwise!

What's the length and thickness of your single strand of wire?
