Check out the various styles of Litz construction.
Theoretically, cables made up of fine wires or small individually
insulated
wires does not address skin effect. Lab measurements bear that out.
Therefore Litz wire doesn't do a lot for skin effect.
True, but I think the real lesson here is that, at audio frequencies
and with the cable lengths used in home stereo systems, skin effect is
just not an issue.
Agreed.
Arguing about it or about various cable construction methods for
reducing it is a bit silly. :-)
Agrred.
Well it may be silly, but it apparently has been a pretty good business for
Monster Cable.
