Our 18 guage speaker cable has a skin guage equivelent
of 5 guage cable. Most signal through speaker
cable travels on the outside of the cable.
Well, now you have definitely stepped in it.
It has been years, but when Monster Cable was spinning their initial myths, I looked into this and found that while skin effect is real, its influence at audio frequencies is totally negligible. To me, it is a mark of unsubstantiated hype that a manufacturer claims to have skin effect advantages at audio frequencies.
And your lack of technical documentation on the site undermines your credibility, especially as you make more specific technical claims.
Our 18 guage cable will out perform any 16 guage
standed
speaker cable available on the market. Look for
the white pages.
And what the heck is this? Are you saying that your 18 gauge cable has lower resistance than ANYBODY'S 16 gauge wire? How does it do this with a smaller cross section (gauge is defined by cross section). I can see that a flat wire with space between the conductors can have less induction from one connector to another, but even Monster has not claimed that separating the conductors would improve the performance...and they are the MASTERS of hype!
