How on earth people never question about changing tube is audible? THINK!

Except that you are advocating the use of very expensive wires (esp. in relation to the gears they are supposed to
interconnect). As much as I can hear differences between wires, they are not as large as you would have people believe and as such I find spending big bucks on cables simply absurd. With amps, the additional cost for higher-end models is easily attributable to capacitor number/grade, power supplies number/grade, op-amps, attenuator grade, enclosure quality, filters, etc. With speakers, it is to enclosure quality, woofers/tweeters number/grade, cross-over unit quality, tuning, etc. With wires though, where does all that extra money spent on $1-5K+ cables go beside the metal[size=xx-small]*[/size] wire, insulation and processing (the most plausible explanation but one that needs further clarification on whether/how it improves signal transmission beyond what 'ordinary metal' wire can do)?
And given some of your previous statements (esp. the second line on point 3 you made in
this post), you do not come across as someone who has studied electricity/electronics at all. I may not have come from an electrical background (I am chemical), but I know better than to make that sort of ignorant statement.

[size=xx-small]*[/size] By metal, I can mean anything since all metals transmit electricity. Taking into account audio contexts however, I will assume this to be copper, silver or any of their hybrids.
