[QUOTE="Rotelman, post: 885470, member: 19028"] I am assuming you had full knowledge of the test details and that you did not conduct a blind test? If so, that makes this statement anecdotal at best. Not saying you didn't hear a distinct difference though. Completely possible. My limited understanding is that due to the increased power loss of a smaller diameter cable, an adjustment (normally very slight) in output can easily yield the exact same Volts and Amperes through both cables, but the effective damping factor on the larger diameter cable would be significantly higher than that of the smaller diameter cable, which in turn could affect the SQ ? This might or might not be audible as it depends on the damping factor of the amp driving the speakers via the cable under discussion, the stiffness of the driver suspension and probably a thousand other aspects the gurus will add to the depends on list. It's a combined system and not isolated form one another ? [/QUOTE]
