Rob,

Thank you for clearing up that the original post was not meant to be conclusive. It came off that way to me at least, but it's very easy to misread the intent of some posts here on the net.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, but I do have one minor grumble...

Even after reading your response, I feel it's a little unfair to refer to Jon Ricsh's 89259/89248 design as his "Ultimate" as you and Thorsten call it. Though I don't know him, I think it's a safe bet to say he doesn't feel this is his ultimate IC design and if he *does* feel that way then it's up to him to slap a moniker on it (as you know, he's never given a name to any of his DIY projects). In a way, your referring to it as "Ultimate" appears a little self-serving; it's a lot more impressive to have a cable or cables "best" one named the "Ultimate," eh? For me, the term "Ultimate" in context of the 89259 cables conjurs up the same connotations as the phrase "Golden Ears." ("Hey, Golden Ears, how are your "Ultimate" ICs hangin'?) If I'm wrong, I apologize in advance.

Something I have a MUCH bigger problem with...

I have to admit that I find it much more disturbing that these solders were made under such a high percentage of cloud cover, this could account for most (if not all) of your findings. (It's also interesting that you make NO mention of what your lunch that day consisted of-- a-HA!!)

Thanks again,

Robert
