LOL Brad!!!
What is so bad about all of this...it is fraud. PT Barnum style.
Notice, the wire is >>directional>> LOL
Look up Bybee quantium purifyier. Expensive and certain audiophiles swear by this 1 dollar resistor, thing,...or whatever it is. Some of them are upper echelon in the 'credibility' department (rolls eyes)
Quantium physics? Not hardly.
I remember a blind folded test which incorporated the cheapo red and white plastic RCA interconnections, some monsters and some that were 5000.00 USD per meter (no shit).
The plastic freebees won out.

Brad, those were across the positive and negative like a loudspeaker zobel or where they simply in series with one conductor?

Yeah, we looked at this before. The guy is completely full of it!
Wasn't he the fellow where all his college chums went on to be big-deal scientists and he's stuck being a "cable designer?"
Ask him how a crystal in the cable contributes to "smooth sound?"
If you could die from a bad cable, the FDA would shut these guys down in a minute, but there is no law about wasting your time and money...
Now, the Zobel (Also called Boucherot (sp?)) actually does something, by presenting a more resistive load to the amp. No magick, actual Science. No real effect on system damping, but I do see that claim sometimes.
Leach, as always, has a good paper on it:

Who 'looked into it'? And how exactly did you do that?
Lee is a cellist for your smart ass information, and he chose his profession, and enjoys it. Get your facts straight, Mr. Facts and Figures.
His cables are also not that expensive. Not at cost.
Nor are some of the cables form Cardas.
And still ... in spite of your attitude ... even Star Quad and Mogami ez-id sound different to casual observers.

Fact is that cynical humor is not that funny to me.
This example by Brad was another attempt to win the debate that can't be won or lost. On some level, it makes his point. So your "facts" are wrong .. I did not "start" anything.
Humor is a good way to make a point ... reminds me of Fletcher a bit.
I just wish it was clean humor ...
