copper cable

[harry bissell]

Yes... completly wrong, wrong, wrong!!!. My super-powers include hearing
with a frequency response from D.C. to the middle if "Channel 3". I can
hear this effect clearly... so I always use 4-0 gage Litz wire (with
thousands of INDIVIDUALLY INSULATED strands in parallel to eliminate "skin
effect" and other inductive artifacts... And of course I specify only the
finest Extra-Virgin Oxygen- Free Copper (but if I can't get that I
substitute Nonobtanium Half-hard alloy). NOW that your question is put to
rest... I suppose you mere MORTALS may not be able to hear EVERYTHING I
do...   so make your own judgement from that...
