RE: The Single Biggest Failure with DBT Proponents is...

You have given no reason to believe that the table in Roger Russell's article on speaker wire is not applicable today.

Who said that? Certainly impedance/resistance plays a part in audible performance. Similarly, you must have enough air in tires to provide decent performance. And some poor fools spent 50 hours proving that toy 24 gauge wire doesn't work very well! Others, however, go beyond his nursery school approach.

The obvious oversight is that this "expert" overlooks everything else in the real world interacting with speakers that affects performance like inductance, capacitance and RFI.

As for those who actually listen to music and have exposure to something other than "hardware store wire", we greatly prefer cables with a lower effective dielectric constant (less time smear) than mediocre zip cord.

The Russell links remain a simplistic joke that only speak to the obvious. I'm happy you continue find them useful.
