No, SE and Jneutron have NOT shown me the 'error' in my measurements, but I am still open to any serious input.No, Bruno's measurements didn't show exactly what was causing the error in your measurements, only that your measurements were erroneous and not a reflection of the behavior of the cable itself.
I've no interest in trying to figure out why a nearly 30 year old piece of gear (which even when new was a lower performance, budget alternative to ST's top of the line analyzer) is behaving the way it is.
The world has moved on without you, John. It's not "25 years ago" anymore.
The problem is this: We, who are the principal audio designers in this industry, know from listening experience that cables, connectors, board layout, etc are very important to successful sound systems, BUT we don't usually know exactly why. When we try to explore advanced physics to find some sort of answers, we are shouted down by this group. Why, I don't know. If you have some better answers, let's hear them.
Always with the drama.
You're not "shouted down" John. When one advances a theory, it is advanced for not for the purpose of it being an end, but only a beginning. The beginning of a process of scrutiny and critical analysis in order to try and determine whether the theory advanced holds water.
A theory doesn't hold water based on the ego or the credentials of the person advancing the theory. A theory will hold water if the theory is sound. Period.
The "problem" is that you see any sort of scrutiny or critical analysis as nothing less than a personal attack and respond as if it were. That's because you can't seem separate your own over-inflated ego from the theories you advance.
