Default Re: The Audiophoolery Thread.

In any event, it is being fed by an amplifier with hundreds, or thousands, of solder joints, and a smorgasbord of dissimilar materials in every transistor, resistor and capacitor. And feeds a loudspeaker with a crossover, and a voice coil whose resistance changes quite dramatically with power level (a process called thermal compression). And gives typically 0.3% to >1% harmonic distortion.

So the bit of wire connecting the real world amp to a real world speaker is to first (and n'th order) irrelevant. It needs to be good enough, but no more.
