Oh yea, Rich those windings I spoke about are called interleaved windings. Anyhow, while reading about them at sevral places using google as the search, I came across the website below. I knew I was in the wrong business as look at the audio amp and the price! The website is kind of neet too, especially the toolbar at the top.

This article is what I consider a "clasic" and still have a laugh when I read it.

If you take a look at the prices of speaker cables in HiFi magazines, and read the reviews, you will 
find things like "good for classical, but a bit too rich on the base response" or "One of the best, 
for that that enjoy jazz, and can appreciate the quality and can afford these"

I'm surprised nobody has come up with solid gold hallmarked speaker cables. Perhaps having each cable 
the same electrical length (to say 0.01mm) so the sound arrives at the speakers at the same time. I'm 
sure if I made them and took at full page adds in a HiFi magazine, they would get good reviews. I'm 
sure some idiots with more money than sence would buy them.
