Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Allen is not the only one who touted thinner is better...

I got the same advice from Pierre Sprey of Mapleshade many years ago. Funnily enough, Pierre prefers copper over silver. I would guess without knowing for sure that very fine copper wire is more sturdy than silver of similar gauge. It's impossible to know whether it's the power of suggestion, placebo effect, observer bias, or what, but I believe I do hear a difference in favor of very thin solid core, certainly over any stranded wire. I can't say that 28ga solid core sounds any better than 26ga solid core, though. I don't want to start another subjectivist vs objectivist brouhaha here. I totally admit this is all subjective. But I am in good company.
