Effect of the resistance is i think the same, so it is about quality and capacitance. Thin wire is usually associated with a single solid core wire. I like my thin solid wire but never thought that it was due to high resistance.
Trying to convince certain people that keeping the resistance of 10' of speaker cable constant at audio frequencies by adding an R or decreasing the wire gauge while keeping L and C the same makes no difference, is futile. The Hawksford stuff is just plain wrong.

He said because with resistor there are four connections instead of two. In most joints on pcb, more than 70% 'conduction' (just a raw number) is through the solder tin. Cold joint etc affects sound in feedback, compensation caps and i think in many places in an amp. For me this is real, but may be not audible for most people.
When i mentioned capacitance, i was talking about amplifier stability. Not all amps are unconditionally stable. I hate working with latfet as stability is not easy to achieve. I have seen in simulation where even small resistance at the output will really help against capacitive load.
You wrote, "You want proof? Fine." Then what happened? You didn't post any proof.
Quote the stuff I made up.
You hold Syn08 statement against me. That is unreasonable. You get an unreasonable response you do not like and now use shorthand to hide your impolite word. That is a disregard on forum guideline no. 1 none the less, no doubt to draw like response from me to violate forum rules.
@TNT
He wanted me to make me feel so uncomfortable that I leave the forum by doing anything he can including holding statement by another against me and stirring my emotional state. I gave him a measured response.

Forums are not scientific journals nor should they ever be, nor anybody is claiming(at least majority of "subjectivists") that what they hear is immeasurable, but they DO claim that there are things going on than what is measured.
Also, you treat blinded experiments as if they are some kind of magic and even as scientific methodology used in an experiment do not alone grant authority.
As far as these observations have poor translations to another users is not an argument against these types of sighted listening on forums and such.

A forum contributor (for the sake of this argument, assume he has no business stake here, neither any other kind of a hidden agenda) shares his subjective impressions from a sighted listening experiment like "A sounds better than B" or "C has a wide sound stage and the highs are sweet and involving".
Not knowing much about this forum member (such as his hearing abilities, perhaps he's in his 80s and is limited to 10KHz?), how would other forum members benefit from his subjective sound description? Otherwise said, what is the perceived value of such a subjective testimony?
I don't even dare to ask about reasoning in making technical decisions and extrapolations like "wide open loop bandwidth is better" based on such unverified and unverifiable testimonies.

I don't even dare to ask about reasoning in making claims about all sighted and/or non scientific testing being useless.
Did I say anywhere they are useless? I was just wondering how are they useful.
That doesn't explain what the other benefits of high resistance wire are, and he didn't explain, perhaps like he said, I have to try it. Anyway, the point is, it was a highly subjective opinion expressed in an assertive way, easily misunderstood to be a statement of fact, that is his style. He is not alone in this, I used it as an example of how I've decided it's best to take many posts.
You want proof? Point to who the mole is. I will ask for his proof of being unable to hear a difference. Let's examine the proof he delivers.
To be noted, I never call you a mole. You just act increasingly like one.

Ever heard about the impossibility to prove a negative?
Three LGMs (Little Green Men) just landed in my back yard. Please prove this is not true.
Sigh.
Syn08, I hate doing this but noted that reasonable ways have so far been tried and does not seem to work. I'd try to match his unreasonable approach to get to his head. I feel his words are undermining the hard work of too many people I respect. Without regards to the comfort of other members while doing so.
@TNT
Comparable proportion to acting stimulus.
