In Reply to: RE: Now you might compare solid 10awg mag wire posted by Dryginger2 on June 26, 2015 at 09:24:37:
12ga solid wire conductor has a circumference of 6.45mm. 12ga stranded Belden speaker wire is comprised of 65 strands of 30ga wire, which have a net total circumference of 52mm, approximately eight times larger. While that might be significant, "infinitely" seems a bit flamboyant.
Solid core "cannot begin to compete"? I find solid core wire superior (usually, by a small but important margin) in almost every signal application. Woofer and sub cables might be an exception where stranded can excel. Stranded PC's are safer, so I don't care if there is a sonic difference, which there probably isn't. It's all very close, so I wouldn't dismiss anyone's reasonable claims after careful experimentation.
