In Reply to: The resistance numbers for copper wire... posted by mlsstl on September 8, 2024 at 17:57:38:
About 45 years ago (around 1979), my friend Dr. Richard Greiner, an AES Fellow (now deceased), did a study of various cables for loudspeakers - capacitance, inductance, and resistance, at audio frequencies. He concluded that plain old 12 gauge stranded twisted pair copper worked just fine at audio frequencies. I don't remember if he did any measurements on the various types of copper wire (oxygen-free, etc.), and I don't know if he ever published the study. I've got it around here somewhere.
As importantly, does anyone here know of any similar science-based study which has been done since then? If so, I, for one, would very much like to read it!
