You're missing the trick. The "high-end" "Audiophile" cables often (intentionally!) add enough capacitance and inductance to make measurable and audible differences, and if there's an audible difference, the more expensive one must be better!
True for some people who don't listen carefully. Another way of putting it is that 'they don't check,' meaning that they don't carefully A/B multiple times to see if an initial impression holds up under more careful subjective scrutiny.
Benb, I see that you are fantasizing, just take and compare several audio cables from each other. You will begin to hate yourself and consider yourself a village. Does different beer taste the same?

I'm beginning to wonder if parallels can so readily be draw between perceptions of speech and music? I'm certain they can't be drawn between cables and beer 🙄
For you from Wales, I would write that all grades of whiskey are the same? Do you think this is so?
I think you all missed Ohm's law. He says that the current through a non-linear load will also always be non-linear, which means that the voltage drop across the conductors will also be non-linear, which is already distortion at the speaker terminals.

It was my wife’s bod that attracted me. Of course she has a fine mind as a university educated psychologist and she turned heads whenever we went out. She still does.
After I shaved my hair off because I could not get to a barber In time because of this Covid thang, my siblings told me I looked like a criminal.
Finally, at 63 I have street cred.

CoolEdit lets you select the time window and it makes a big difference. IMHO this makes me skeptical of some of the purported DNR measuring tools. For a given time window there will be a distribution of crest factors, with random noise these can be computed. Bill did you think you could slip in a real technical issue here?

Even if the load displays a non-linear V/I characteristic, the wire driving it will display a linear I*R characteristic. Unless it doesn't, in which case it is not a wire.
Cheers!

Yes, only you are confused again, load resistance and wire resistance are two different things. And the current flows through them the same i.e. common. This problem can only be for third-grade students who have not yet studied Ohm's law for nonlinear circuits, and not for an engineer.
Cheers!

Insults aside, I assumed you were saying that the wire displayed non-linear behavior, which, if it is made of copper it does not, no matter what load it is connected to, linear or not.

On the other hand, their X01 D2 CD/SACD player from a few years back used four PCM1704 D/A chips and seven OPA627 per channel (!), And WBT NextGen connectors. Go figure.
I never said such a thing, it’s all your own time you invented and inspired yourself to justify not the influence of audio cables on distortion.
Around here you need to be careful or someone will start talking about 200A and #14 wire (copper is about 3000ppm/degree C).
We must have a language barrier issue here, apparently neither of us accurately communicated to the other, my apologies.
Howie
Here is another who does not know Ohm's law. I have long suspected that those who deny the influence of cables do not know the most basic things. Therefore, they are so deeply swallow this bait. The Japanese are aware of this.
