Greenhill went much too far to create audible wire differences -- Teresa has never done any test

Greenhill used 30 foot speaker wires.
Most people use 10 feet.
I use 15 feet because my speakers are 8 feet from the front wall, and have never met any audiophile who used over 15 feet. other than for side speakers in a surround sound system, or a far away in a corner subwoofer.
So Greenhill used 30 feet!

Greenhill also did many tests with no A-B volume matching, which served only to point out the obvious fact that SPL differences can be audible between thin and thick wires.

Greenhill also used ultra-thin 24AWG wire, that no audiophile I've ever met uses (I've never seen thinner than 18AWG used by another audiophile, and have never used thinner than 16AWG myself, even going back to age 13 -- I'm 15 now).

Even using 30 feet of 24AWG wire, with A-B volume matching a majority of listeners could NOT hear a difference between 30 feet of 24AWG vs. 30 feet of 12.5AWG Monster Cable.

Teresa has never done a blind test -- she just assumes everything makes an audible difference, and assumes that she could hear it.

And your posts have never made sense.
