RE: whats Better dynamically better quality but smaller or large awg??

Posted by SteveBrown on March 4, 2017 at 07:12:45:
A number of years ago there was a trend in vogue to use very small gauge (like 26 IIRC) enameled copper wire. I remember listening to a rebuild of a console amp that Gary Pimm built using this and it sounded amazing. I tried to go that route but found that getting the enamel off was a real pain so I went back to Teflon coated copper. I've never done actual comparisons so I don't know if one would be better than another.
