That quote says it all. And that's an excellent web site I wasn't aware of.
I am an audio fanatic with some very expensive equipment but I don't buy into the cable hype. I've AB'd expensive cables with cheap and couldn't tell the difference. Neither could my audiofile friends.
That said I did use Monster for the downstairs theatre. I needed to get cable quick and Circuit City was having a sale.
I would get thicker gauge for longer runs (just as you would for longer outdoor lighting runs). Resistance does take a toll- you just want to make sure that all the electrons complete the journey. But the electrons don't seem to care if they're riding on double stranded DNA helically wrapped silver coated pure copper wrapped in pretty purple vulcanized rubber straight from Samoa or plain old zip wire.
When you really read the quotes out of Stereophile or the catalogs it's pretty clear they're selling BS: "I could immediately sense greater tonality, depth and rhythm...the speakers seemed to reach out and touch me blah blah blah."
Yeah right.
