RE: ATTENTION DUSTER-SAN!!

While I may disagree with the premise that it does not matter if large gauge speaker cables are implemented, there is such a thing as 24 AWG speaker wire, and folks are free to choose non-optimized speaker wire if that's what they wish to do. Dawnrazor has been a proponent of small gauge wire for quite some time now, so I'm not interested in debating the topic with him in this forum, anytime soon.

Similarly, as long as a power cord is rated for a particular load, listeners are also free to use an 18 AWG power cord instead of 12 AWG or 10 AWG products for example if they wish to. Audiophile sensibilities must be discovered by and for oneself, not stated like a hard rule that must never be broken. That type of attitude should be left for hard-nosed objectivists who tend to enjoy berating others they disagree with, not audiophile subjectivists who should live and let live, while valuing their own findings, and stating their own opinions without rancor in a public forum. Besides, I'd rather pick my own battles. Post your own opinion if you wish to, tweaker456.
