From Wiki, regarding the use of sapphire in CMOS chips, "The reason for choosing wafers of artificial sapphire, rather than some of other substance, for these substrates is that sapphire has a quite low conductivity for electricity, but a much-higher conductivity for heat. Thus, sapphire provides good electrical insulation, while at the same time doing a good job at helping to conduct away the significant heat that is generated in all operating integrated circuits.".
And this makes it a good candidate for speaker wire, how? The article says nothing about using it for speaker wire, it's for power cabling. I'd like to see how large or small the test wires are.
ANY conductor resists electron flow to a certain extent but unless the whole circuit is super-conductive, it's a lost cause to only use this for speaker wire. It's just friction. Probably better to use SC inside of the equipment where processing and amplification are done.
