RE: Solid copper VS Stranded for Speaker wire

To be perfectly honest, my opinion is based more around ideas I have floating around in my head, than any actual electrical rules. For example...I work in the telecom industry, and when using copper data cabling, solid core cable is preferred over distance rather than stranded, which is normaly only used for patching due to its flexibility.

In my audio system, I have tried to eliminate as many breaks in the signal chain as possible under the assumption that fewer is better. The idea of my precious delicate music signal jumping from strand to strand thousands of times just seems plain wrong to me. Just one audio dork's opinion.

Best regards,

Waxxy
