Bob Greiner, an EE prof long retired from Univ of Wis at Madison did 
some excellent science debunking exotic wires 30 years ago, which he 
published as an AES paper.

The executive summary -- for virtually all real loudspeakers, it's all 
Ohm's law, and nothing else matters.  The sole exception would be an 
exotic type with a tweeter having very low impedance at high audio 
frequencies.

It's worth saving this reference when you encounter RFI to an audio 
system that uses esoteric cables. :)
