Hello Jack
That doesn't surprise me lots of smart guys and with surplus and the cost of copper just goes to show you smart guys. Why not pay pennies on the dollar, Not like coppers cheap.
Hello Rockitman
Amps yes wires/cables never tried. I will be the first to admit I am a bit jaded. I DIY speakers so I have a measurement system lot's of design software and so on. Been in the mil/space industry for 30 plus years so looking at what done there, basically you take it off the spool and away you go. You don't burn in wires or cables although you do on any part like a resistor or capacitor. I have also measured cables for frequency response and phase and just don't see an issue. Just so you know where I am coming from.

'cept that if you look into designer bios you'll find quite a few that have come directly from that industry and many more indirectly.
One of my fave cables (no longer in production) were made from copper ribbon transformer windings from USN surplus.

So wait, you can't hear the diff ? I remember hearing cable differences back In the 1990's with my Levinson, Aerial Acoustics combo. I must be a rare bird indeed.
