I don't believe cables make a difference, any input?

First; I apologize if I pissed you off earlier. That was not my intent.

My point was that the same micro structure defects you address in copper wire have relatively huge effects in semi-conductor devices and in my judgment should be addressed first.

You are not possibly using TRANSISTORS to listen to music...

Actually, semiconductors must be semiconducting to work, but yes their PN layers tend to be jolly ditry to.

I think what I ultimatly wish to say is:

Cables sound different. The differnences I have observed cannot be explained sufficiently just by RLCG parameters. Crystal structures and oxide layers would be one good guess, though I'll happily accept irrefutable proof that "it ain't neccesarily so"...

What would be the sonic effect of that ?.
What would be the effect of a non-magnetic metallic cyclinder around a microphone cable ?.

A good guess based on what though? Good guesses are usually based on at least something that's been fairly well established. The effects of crystal structures and oxide layers so far seem to have only been "established" in the form of empty claims made in cable marketing literature. I hope you're not basing your good guess solely on cable marketing literature.

I've tried to find some explanations as to how exactly crystral structures and oxide layers would aversely effect signal transmission but so far all I've had were some buzzwordss tossed in my face.

So why are crystal structures and oxide layers a good guess?

Now, dielectric effects are well known and have been fairly well established as well as psychological effects. These would certainly qualify as good guesses. Have either of these been ruled out?

Steve the demo version?

You are truly one funny dude.

Yeah.

I used to be shareware. But the greedy little bastards never paid.

Then I tried a nagware version of myself and was surprised how much nagging people will put up with as long as they don't have to pay.

So I'm currenty giving the limited time demo version a go.

You are truly one funny dude.

Nah. Just switching tracks to avoid another trainwreck.

Hi,

Nah. Just switching tracks to avoid another trainwreck.

Is this what happens when the trial period is over?

Not to worry Frank, i already got the cracked version.

Frank's version sure looks cracked to me.

Hi,

Frank's version sure looks cracked to me.

And saying it was one of those monocrystaline trains...

Steve, or anyone else for that matter,

Have you ever tried to use magnetwire for that dreadlock cable?

It would eliminate surface oxidation and should be less capacitive, it also needs to be solid core...which is probably what you use already?
