Any recommendations internal speaker wire?

Hi GM,

To twist, or not to twist ??

It may be " centuries proven " as you suggest, but it is not always the best way to execute it, if one simply listens.

I have recently been able to listen to wires, twisted and untwisted, and ....in certain applications, ....untwisted sounds better to me . Two specific examples follow :

(1) In a transparent SET amplifier, the end-to end ( outside wires ) of a power transformer's high voltage secondary windings leads, going to a rectifier tube, sound best if NOT twisted. ( The 5 VCT filament winding to the rectifier tube, however, NEEDS to be twisted. ) I believe there were two people who already independently made such conclusions, Jack Elliano was first - long ago, and recently, Dennis Fraker, both Manufacturers.

(2) For between power amp to driver runs, I have recently A-Bed this, ( this month ) and on my system, polarities not touching clearly sounds better. In fact, ANYONE would plainly hear this on MY system.

Although the decades-old EE books denote what AWG works for so many feet, and I appreciate you showing this to us all..... I suggest that their assumptions may need to be questioned, re-evaluated, as being ...not adequate. It ass/u/mes a 10% loss. Is that ....a good assumption??

My first audio mentor, Robert Fulton had a saying I like a lot " An inch of bad wire can ruin the musical experience ". I agree with him, while at the SAME time, I seek to show absolutely no disrespect to you, and your MANY contributions to ALL of us !!

I would hope this Forum is " big" enough to allow some diversity of thought. Non touching of polarities, in the two areas I have mentioned herein, ( H.V. winding and amplifier-to-drivers ) were specifically ( and purposefully ) used in the RMAF demo room in 2016 by Serious Stereo, and they will be again, this October 2017.

To see a photo, taken by the Stereophile magazine reviewer, access the URL below, and look at the photo of the two monaural RED JJ 2A3-40 power amps, and VIEW how all the leads are very carefully orientated !

I discovered the results of " no touch " in MY system, only about ten days ago, and was ecstatic over the new and positive results. I seek to share that with others. What I HEAR, always trumps any decades-old written theory. If it sounds better, it is better IMHO.

If you personally A-Bed this, and clearly heard it, what would YOU do and / or think ?? Reality trumps theory. Results matter.
