It's not about frequency resp changes, and I'm not sure it relates at all to the cable's LCR properties, or even it's linearity.Ok.
The point of DA in other scenarios is that the dielectric stores energy and releases it later.
So? Inductance and capacitance stores energy and releases it later too. What's different about DA?
In other words, what you're looking for is an echo of the original signal that appears after the signal has changed (or stopped).
Ok. So how is the "echo" of this energy storage any different than the "echo" of the energy storage of inductance and capacitance?
Thus the importance in sample-and-hold circuits.
I thought we were talking about amplifiers and such?
Given the low impedances of the amp-speaker environment, I would epxect that this stored energy would be effectively shorted, hence my comment about the magnitude of the effect.
How does an amp-speaker with respect to the cable behave like a sample-and-hold circuit?
The connection to the Nordmark stuff is that we will potentially be forced to use a much finer threshold for considering timing-related errors audible.
I don't know that we'll be forced to do anything until someone can show that DA has the effect of causing frequency-dependent inter-aural time delays.
In other words, Nordmark changes the threshold for "not important".
Whose "not important" threshold do you mean?
