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



'Bout an inch....


and thickness of your single strand of wire?


Real tiny - less than a mm?


**suspicion**


Why do you ask....??


Must read the thread more closely. Didn't see the photo.
You've added at least 10 milliohms to one speaker cable.
That must have ruined the soundstage.



Elrond, you should post more often - you are much smarter that the
self-proclaimed *technical experts* here!

You are also not wrong - whilst the 'sound quality' appeared to be
unchanged, the 'soundstage' (central image) in *mono* - selected on the
Technics tuner* - went completely to pot! (Wide mono!)

It was less noticeable in 'stereo' but both Swim and I thought the 'image'
had slewed somewhat left of centre!!
