Thats just it UFO.
That water and the pipe analogy doesnt seem to work.
For instance I replaced some Kimber Kables with a 28g strand of solid core and the resistance was much higher (smaller pipe in the analogy) yet the sound was much better. This isnt an isolated thing. Many inmates have heard improvements with thin solidcore over bigger stranded cables.
This flies in the face of what audioholics says, and most engineers.
And I am a bit more scientific than you think I am I bet. I once made some speaker cables with 28g magnet wire. I thought perhaps I was off on the gauge and perhaps what was more important is using solid core. I bought into the lower resistance argument and tried adding a 12g THHN wire for the one of the conductors. 28g for one and 12g for the other.
It was dramatic. I couldnt believe how bad it sounded.
All I know is that the propeller heads say the math points to 12g stranded cable and that a 28g solid core wire should not sound good, yet my ears hear it just the opposite, and I am not alone on this. It has to be more than what the theories say, or that they just dont fit.
Here is one recent post out of several from inmates who have tried magwire.

I might not have expressed myself properly, sounds like we agree.
OK, I really must have misread your post.
Well I guess we agree.
Though dont ask me WHAT we agree on :)

I don't know about all the solid vs. stranded cable differences but I do know that DR got me to go with the small gauge solid mag wire stuff ,then I went with 22ga solid silver and they probably will stay in my system for many years to come. Now I have to get the new MMG's and do the DR razor as a starting point.
Hey IE,
Did you ever try anything thinner than 22g?
Anyhow enjoy your razor time, it will be well worth the work.
I'll have to see about some silver for my system. Though it is very pricey I think given the design I want to do. Maybe a hybrid cable is in order.
