in that case, the only logical case for that would be that the length of the interconnect could be longer than the headphone cable, and thus a thicker gauge would limit the resistance to a value in line with the headphone cables value. Though i dont know what difference that would make. Though digital cables are a different ball game, they run at frequencies much higher than audible, and i guess skin effect could be a factor?? though i dont know on that one.

If I put it like this - Let's put down the cable debate and assume for the sake of argument that wire used does make a difference. Within this world-view and ignoring all broader on-going debates - Can anyone give me a logical reason on how using wire in an interconnect that is thicker than the wire in the headphone cable make any difference. A logical reason. If no one can I'll assume the claim, as it sounds, is nonsense. |
