Maybe its BS. but it has served me and my mentor well.
Yup, Cardas with individually insulated strands would be better. My pockets ain't that deep.
Of course YMMV and system dependent.
Then explain why the Andrew Heliax micro-wave cable that I use for speaker cable, having a 12-gage solid center conductor, is rated out to 18-gHz.? And why after many - many - trials with so-called speaker cables, with every imaginable construction, pale by comparison?

I still want to listen to those speakers you have.
