Strap conductors are widely used in microwave circuits. Have been for well over 60 years. These days it's all done via PC boards as not only can precise conductors be made, it's highly repeatable for low cost manufacturing.But all of this is irrelevant for base band audio. The math doesn't lie.
Can you or anyone explain to us how the flat conductor is improving the sound stage or bass response versus a round wire. Keep in mind we are talking a few feet maximum length here and assume the wire in question is over rated current wise by a factor of at least 10, meaning a line level signal over say a 24awg wire.
Just point us to the relevant physics at play here (edit: at aduio frequencies please. We do understand the physics at RF frequencies).
