Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

You've come dangerously close to the truth

I'm afraid there ARE people who have a "vested interest in never seeing this problem solved."

There are many areas in life where it pays to keep the ball in the air as long as possible. If the issue should ever be resolved, there will be a lot of people proved definitely wrong. This is usually unacceptable. Whatever method you come up with to move closer to the truth will be found to have a flaw--one that rules it out.

I once proposed a method of evaluating speaker cables. It was based on the assumption that doubling the length of the cable would at least double whatever problems it caused, and if nobody could tell the difference between a 10' cable and a 20' one, then they couldn't tell the difference between a 10' cable and a cable of zero length.
I couldn't even get agreement on this. The objections offered bordered on ridiculous, but that's the cable war for you.
