[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 386528, member: 550915"] I have yet to see measurable proof of differing strand counts of the same gauge wire making a difference. If audioquest was correct, then the Radio Shack stuff should be the best sounding out there because it has some of the lowest strand counts possible. Most wire does not have inductance or capacitance qualities that will make a difference at audible frequencies. Most of the stuff you see from the wire companies is pure marketing. Hearing is very much influenced by the subconscious. You hear what you want to hear. In a double blind test, I can almost guarantee that you will not hear the difference. The size of the cable is important, but not the strand count. For your reading pleasure.
