Was dragged around shops to look at fridge/freezers and washing machines.

All properly designed fridge-freezers are equally cold, and you are a stupid idiot if you think otherwise. ;-)

Kind of true? The differences are down to energy efficiency and design good enough to reduce temperature variations from top to bottom.

None of you can even be trusted with speaker cable*, so please don't ever replace lightbulbs or fuses. You'll be expecting custard or fairies and get yourselves killed.

ThompsonUXB, you should have everything electrical removed from your house, immediately, for your own safety and as a public health measure. Seriously, if you think it leaks I dread to think what measures you will take to prevent it from falling out of the sockets!

Ta ta. Be careful and - ThUXB - ask a grown-up.

*Ok TrevC can use electricity, but not the rest of you from what i've read here. (I would just ban him from talking about it.)

What??

I do wish you guys would present an argument instead of trying to be smart..... get involved when it's live......

Leaks????...... when were leaks discussed anyway?

To add....

Chebby you would put your faith in TrevC.....right?

The man believes all metals share the same 'resistance' or uses the term 'comparible'...... Then asked if I knew ohms law.

I gave an example of ohms law earlier in the thread two equations different current, same voltage and said find R.

Should I have said they represent 2 cables?.....would that make it easier to digest?

Point being the equation with the higher current would have a lower resistive value. Which in turn allows 'more signal' which in turn shows cables differ if measured and these were your figures.

Steve 1979 image, but imagine a more relaxed resistance pulling the chord not so tightly......

Yet all metals, conductive 'compositions' have the same 'resistance' how basic do yo need things explained?

Oh c'mon boys the end game is near.....

The great cable debate is nearing a conclusion.

In a topic were using 'comparible' as a default disclaimer is a joke....i.e all cables are exactly the same - full stop or they are not, in which case it's logical there can be differences in the presentation of the music you hear via them.....

What say you?

I say two cables of equal resistance have little choice but to sound identical. It's those dratted laws of physics.

TrevC, again no counter argument.

Resistance is not built into cables - you can compare cables on their composition based purely on their quality as a conductor.

One of the posters above heard no difference between 2 sets of cable but did with a 3rd.

You don't think that's possible?

The 3rd cable being an 'exotic' brand comprising of 'metals' with superior conductive properties.

Makes no sense to YOU!

Even resistors have different values! Possible by using various grades of silicon or what ever resistors are made of.

The math is out there.

It's not about gaining more but about losing less

I really have no idea what you are on about. If you have two cables with the same resistance, regardless of construction, the signal at the speaker will be the same. Are you disputing that?

Lol.....Just reading back through the thread for my own entertainment and spotted this.

Was this another sneaky edit TrevC.....honestly.

But consider the silliness of your post.

I'm not baiting you either - the penny is dropping.... :)

We are real close now Trev, real close.

'equal resistance'

All the exotic compositions available and you wanna drop 'equal resistance' in....

Hence all cables MUST conform to the most basic cable - copper around a non conductive core for example?

Honestly?

OMG!

You're totally right!

I tell you Steve it's a pity most have probably given up on this thread and won't see this.

As sarcastic as you may or not be in that statement you are right!

TrevC once again is painting himself into a corner - I'm sure he sees it.....

But it's hilarious to watch.... :)

You've got him against the ropes now.

A few more posts like that one and Trev will be out for the count.

Lol....let me give you the chance to edit, you know if you stick with nope then the 'equal resistance' and 'comparible' disclaimers is thrown out the window and your beloved science kicks you in the a$$.....right?

Most cables have a non-conductive outer around a conductive core. Not the way you said, LOL.

Which cables that?

You take a cheap cable take a strand and cut it and look at the cross section......

It'll look like a copper strand because......
