I do believe in free speech and open debate. However irritating I may find others views sometimes, I have to read/listen to them and digest the content, often causing brain nausea. But there are so many things in the world to get upset at, discussing audio can get you frustrated, but I don't let it get to me
Those one liner content less replies do irritate a bit though.

No they are W5-1611SAF, 5". The measurements we did yesterday showed that the reverberation intensity drops of above 4 or 5 kHz so that indicates to me that there's less hf energy being strewn around into the room. Which of course is to be expected.

Jan,
That might only be very partly the reason. The absorbtion coefficient of all materials increases sharply with frequency; above 10 Khz, even a hard painted surface like plaster almost doesn't reflect anything at all at those frequencies.

This one doesn't go above 4KHz, but I have this knowledge from a thing called a 'book' I have at home.

Yes we discussed that as well. I have a carpet in the listening area that should absorb a lot of the hf reverb as you mention.
Our conclusion yesterday was that I seed additional absorbing stuff between 600Hz and 4kHz.
He's going to send me a quote.
Another issue is that I have a main room resonance at around 38Hz, whci I need to tame with the EQ function in the DCX2496. About 8dB peak, which isn't so bad anyway.

Is that my Guiness you're drinking .....
To boldly hear what no one's heard before...
Transporters, beaming...
Wonder if we'll ever be able to bypass the atmosphere interface and broadcast right to the auditory processor part of the brain?
Nostalgists would undoubtedly opine that their old airport expresses "sounded" better...
Hey that my cat!
....but my Transporter is silver.

And these, also instead.
So what's the theory behind these? A vacuum dielectric is good, but not as good as some kind of oil dielectric?
Is one for damping?
I think I'll just get more plugs and use twisted pairs or maybe some bulk all copper coax....
At least those are proven , not to mention cheaper by far.
Thoughts on the two commercial interconnects anyone?

Interconnects are much like jewelery.
There will not be a technical difference, although .... the three intertwined leads as in the oil filled cable, it most likely is inferior to coax. And the black cable must be BS because you can't have a floating ground in an unbalanced cable.

It is a reasonable safe bet that almost any 'special' audio lead is no better than (and probably significantly inferior to) a standard commercial quality coax or twisted pair (as appropriate) made by a competent Western manufacturer (and others elsewhere).
You can't improve the screening of a coax by getting rid of the screening! You can't improve the cylindrical symmetry of a coax by making it non-coax.

As I often write, the important electrical factors in a RCA unbalanced analog interconnect are:
a] Coax construction.
b] Low end to end resistance of the Shield/Return.
c] Good shielding. (there are more than one justifiable viewpoints as to just what good shielding is)
d] Reasonably low capacitance.

After reading one too many of Tellig articles detailing how great component x sounded after a few drinks, I let my stereophile subscription expire.
Now getting Facebook postings from them for some reason.
They seem to've devolved into a standup routine.
Today's "news" relayed from someone called Jason Victor Serenus extols multi multi thousand $ systems, and then proclaims the key to it was the cabling.
Also several thousands of $.
Kind of makes me feel proud that no part of my system has been reviewed by a magazine employing a mook like this who should be shunned. This guy makes 6moons seem reasonable.
I guess the only way for an audio magazine to stay in business is to schill.
I only wish they'd raise the bar on whom they schill with, and for.
