Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Different results here.

I have a 3 meter HT Cyberlight wave 6V here on test. I used my old Heathkit signal generator (600 ohms output impedance). I measured the frequency response at 30 cycles, 100 cycles and 1000 cycles, 10,000 cycles and 100,000 cycles. The load was 20K on the scope. Same exact measurement at 30 cycles and 100 cycles and about one quarter db down at 1K, 10K and 100K. Obviously, this cable is not the normal HT as not very many people would be using the 6V wave (which attenuates the signal by 8db). I was using a 600mv RMS sign wave and so what came out was 8db less. Anyone with a decent sign wave generator and a scope should be able to measure the normal HT cables (PS2 and wave). I would be suprised if they measured any different. I imagine that the cables measured by the other guy were the original version before tweaking by HT. Obviously, they are not what I have here. Square wave rise time is about 300 nanoseconds which would be about one meg bandwidth. I am sure the other Harmonic Tech cables would be faster as they don't have the padding this cable does.
