Twisting OT wires

Post by ViperDoc »

I just stumbled across a claim that twisting OT primary wires may cause a certain type of capacitance and loss of high end. Is this true?
Just plug it in, man.

The minor amount of high end roll off is far above the guitars frequency range even considering harmonics!

Such is only a consideration with Hi Fi amps.

The twisting can save a high gain amp depending on its layout from being unusable above a certain volume level.
