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

no contradiction

Just pointing out how unjustified claims are made and how misinformation is used.

To restate: current flow does not equal signal flow. To use the two interchangeably is misleading. It gives the distinct impression to those not familiar with basic electrical theory that the signal travels through the wire by electron movement which it does not.

Could conductor purity, et.al. affect sound quality? Sure. My point was that these are but a few of potentially millions of variables that could and we have no way of isolating which ones actually do or don't. As such, stating that improved sound is caused by these qualities specifically is speculation pure and simple.

I know makers have to compete to sell cables and they are free to use whatever marketing tools they like. But when we as folks who hear differences in cables use pseudo-science to justify our position, we look the fool and play right into nay sayers hands.

I have not had anything to drink yet, but the workday is ended for me and I have some untouched Newcastle ale and a highly recommended low cost Cabernet from South Africa waiting at home.
