Not knowing much about audio is one big reason I'm here. Last week I posted a thread asking for some advice, and got a :thmbsp: for what I was using, which was standard 14 gauge stranded spool copper wire which had a coating to prevent corrosion. I got a couple responses saying solid wire is also good.
That brings me to the question I asked the electrician who supplied the wire to me, he says:
Stranded is best due to the "skin effect". Higher frequencies travel on the outer edge of the wire, so the more surface area, the better.
Any one want to argue his point?
I don't doubt those who say solid works, maybe the higher frequencies are beyond what I can hear.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
