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

An interesting website. I had seen the wire part a while ago but not the rest of the site. I still cannot see a lack of integrity concerning speaker wire but I can see one or two other things... Perhaps he does not understand copyright.

When it comes to being asked to believe in differences in wires that are so large they are audible at acoustical frequencies and yet violate the known laws governing the performance of cables at audio frequencies then to be blunt yes. You may find that remarkable but you will almost certainly get the same answer from everybody with a technical education covering this field from a science orientated school child upwards. (Obligatory caveat concerning "normal" operation to exclude problems with the rest of equipment or environment).

I think you may misunderstand why I asked, I am interested in how you reason about matters concerning the performance of audio equipment.

I am now struggling to answer the question because my point of reference is not a set of branded equipment but an education in science and acoustics in particular. Does this answer your question or is it still insufficient for you to extract what is important for you to know about my reasoning? If no, what is missing and why?

By the way, my current equipment is not a secret, is quite ordinary and is almost certainly mentioned somewhere in the archives but I would like to tease out of you what is relevant about it.
