My favorite "upgrade" is the exotic power cable. Run the power to the plug
via 100+ feet of 12G romax and then slip in 3 feet of miracle wire.

Not to mention a few kilometers to the substation, or a few hundread to the
power plant!

I'm not sure I see your point. The skin effect is what it is. No one's cable
can make it do other wise, and no one can hear it anyway.
I think thats the point.
Maybe I'm missing something?

RT,

Found this very interesting article

I'm all for debunking nonsense, but in the guise of doing that I spotted
this howler:

"We generally recommend about 5-7% of total system cost."

In my opinion $10 is the most one should spend on a normal length of speaker
cable, regardless of how much the rest of the system cost.
