The factor known as length, and it's relevance.What am I missing here?
FWIW, every length of wire in your system is effectively a resistor which may, or may not be of significant value to the circuit, and it's relationship to other components in the circuit. Length is a key factor in determining a wire's resistance.
Not unlike the water hose analogy, where volume of flow = electrical current, a small gauge wire of very short length can pass a pretty significant amount of current. But, just like a water hose of constant diameter, the longer it is, the less it can flow. Same with a wire of constant diameter, the longer it is, the less current it can flow.
I suspect the differences that LowOhms is hearing would be considered fairly subtle by many of us, and probably not even heard by some. I've been at this hobby long enough, and been exposed to the astute wisdom of many audio enthusiasts and professionals enough to know that there is sound theory behind his observations. When i add in the fact that he's using some of the best engineered, and most resolving loudspeaker components ever made, i have little doubt that what he's hearing is real.
