Speaker wire - another fine theory

Why do you think such a phenomenon would lead to distortion? If=20
it's dissipating energy, then it will simply increase the=20
electrical losses in the cable, though by an EXTRAORDINALLY=20
insiginifcant amount. This is equivalent to adding a TINY amount=20
of electrical resistance to the cable.
Tiny indeed. But not linear. As actual motion is involved, all kind of
mechanical hysteresis and resonance effects will occur.
It amazes me that this rather obvious effect seems not be discussed in
hi -end circles. (or is it?)
Becasue it is NOT "rather obvious." It's extremely tiny and=20
wholly insignificant AND if your claim is correct, it's a simple=20
linear inscrease in resistance.
Not necessarily linear.
Because it's not fistorion, it's loss. If you think that's a=20
problem, simply go one or two gauges heavire in wire, and that=20
will TOTALLY swamp out ANY such effects.
As I stated, the effect will be small enough to totally ignore. Yet it
is quantifiable, contrary to effects sometimes contributed to ultra
high cost interlinks / LSP cables and such. My whole point was: "why
zooming in to effects that only (might) occur at homeopathic levels if
a much "bigger" (albeit still extremely insignificant) effect may be
at work"
Or to put it in another way: When striving for total auditive
perfection - attack a problem that does actually (barely...) exist!
(In the mean time I will happily apply solid hobby-store grade wi-)
