No doubt one can budget research and advertisement in snake oil.It depends on the people. You can do frivolous research, other people will have a serious budget for research and results.
this is how you describe any audio equipment ... that's what most people on the street think ...
You are more involved in this, I have not experimented with mud and bananas ...
But you had experimented with the skin effect induced distortions in speaker cables. Great, then you have only one thing to do to prove your point. Show your data. Measurements, sensory tests, etc...
Wait, you don't have any data to show? That would not be surprising.
You cannot do the calculations, instead you see distortion along 20cm cable. Howdy-ho, I see😛I havent calculated millikelvins, but I always see higher or much higher distortion after a cable or evel small 10-20 sm long wire (it depends mainly on a load resistance and impedance stability of cause).
Audibility can be both as objective (measurable) property and can be very subjective property. And it is a very different topic to simple objective measurable electric distortion, so I am not talking about it. I can only say something about something I see at a screen of my measurement devices.
Do you always come up with something about others? Is that all you have?But you had experimented with the skin effect induced distortions in speaker cables. Great, then you have only one thing to do to prove your point. Show your data. Measurements, sensory tests, etc...

Are you afraid to make a fool of yourself? So you will never know anything ...

Is it time to report the thread yet?
The mods are right, it's like Godwin's Law, the useful content of these cable threads asymptotically approaches zero.

I had a friend when I gave him a unique book with experiments and conclusions from 200 research institutes to read, he said that he could only learn the title of this book only because the rest of the font and graphics were too small. In other words, one author can write a very cool book, while another cannot or does not even want to read it ...
I showed another friend this article about audio cables, he also could not read, but he is a simple audiophile, a cook by training, i.e. he is forgivable. He asked to retell the content with interest and listened attentively, but then he still stubbornly insisted that the speaker cable be at least 2 meters in length ... Although the article says the opposite ... The main reason is that the factory cable already has connectors and he won't be able to cut it.

It is interesting your join dates sep 21. What was your previous name here before that date?😛

You seem to have lost the snake oil itself. Finally, the distortion measurements of the audio cable are found.
Oh, now that makes sense!
You mean the "resistor sound quality", "gallium nitride chipamps", "capacitor burn in" fame guy?
Oh well.

My recollection is it was an audioholics forum post that went viral. Still IMO as originally related one of the least credible debunks in audio, mostly useful for as a measuring stick for proponent's credibility. Science is equally disserved when promulgating poor arguments both for or against a position.On this very forum, people experimented with coat hanger wire...

- Does making distortion measurement of cable make sense?
