They are working on better ways to measure cables...where have you been???? :-) (sorry, I just couldn't resist that one..please, no offense meant)

Look at the tabular data...note that they are now running RLC up to 1 Mhz.... (you're welcome)...(requisite chest thumping on my part). Those frequency numbers go up into the skinning regime, as well as into the upper reaches of human lateralization capability..something that simple 20 to 20 Khz testing does not in any way address.

And the data now allows for simple calculation of the dielectric constant vs frequency and the optimization number for the dielectric and construction (that is the deviation from LC=1031 *DC).

It's a start towards better and more complete testing, IMHO..

Couple that with the ongoing dialogue with Wayne Kerr, and I believe we are going in the right direction..all are welcome to participate in the Wayne Kerr dialogue..As far as I know, I am the only one participating who presents the possibility that current test regimens are inadequate for what others perceive as differences in how cables sound...(ummm, yes..I just said that I am the only one pushing the "yaysayer" point of view in that test technology forum.)

Additional posters will be fun..I believe good things will be developed..and, it is a much more civil place, IMHO..

So, to answer your question...they are..

Cheers, John
