 JA> gear. Is there a difference between multistrand wire and solid core
 JA> wire of the same diameter and insulation in conductivity and possible
 JA> noise? 
 
 Nothing that you can ever hear.
 
 JA> Would rewiring the inside of an amp with a bigger and
 JA> better quality wire make a difference that one can hear?
 
 I played music for many years and set up alot of sound systems and would
 NEVER think of taking an amp apart to put larger wires in it.
 
 
 JA> Is there a difference between the old fashion pot metal
 JA> binding posts and the brass and gold plated ones of today...if the old
 JA> ones are clean? Is the less corrosive(sp?) nature of the gold plating
 JA> the only advantage?
 
 It's a good way to get you to spend $$$$ As long as the contacts are clean 
it should be fine.
 I like to meet the person that could hear the difference between gold and
 non gold contacts.
 
 The only time you have to consider the size of the wire is ...
 1> you run HIGH WATTS... like 200 up.
 2> The speakers will be more than 20 feet from the anp. You naturally don't 
want 
 to use the small wire like on some home chepie systems. If I have the 
speakers
 very far from the AMP I would use a heavier gauge of regular electric cord. 
 Like the king you would use to power a 500 watt light bulb.
 I have set up amps with all of this in mind and have NEVER had a bit of
 trouble.
 
 When I played music on the road I used two 435 watts RMS amps to power 
everything.
 The neat thing about a high power amp is that it usually takes LESS watts
 to get the same sound. A small amp has to strougle while a big amp just
 coasts along.
 Hope this was of some help.
