Geoffkait,
I think frame11 was quoting the audio critic and the statement is entirely correct from an engineering design perspective. Go to any reputable University and study electrical engineering or physics and the professors and text books will only use R, L and C for calculations at audio frequencies. These are the only factors that need to be considered in these analog circuits at these frequencies because they encompass and describe the entire behaviour as far as reputable science is concerned.
I do hate to be argy bargy about this but if the statement regarding RLC was actually true then how come cables that measure the same sound different? That’s right up there with the bullet headed dude from Audio Review’s opinion that all amps that measured about the same sounded the same. Any reputable University? Huh? That’s like the most obvious Appeal to Authority I’ve seen all week. You know, as in phoney argument.
Now anecdotally what people claim to hear can be an entirely different matter; unlike scientific laws and procedures in science that require repeatability of measurements by anyone and everyone to be accepted, there is no need to demonstrate or prove any of the wild claims about special wires...so audiophile dealers and audiophiles can and do make wild unsubstantiated claims all the time. These claims are quite similar to many unproven wild or crazy claims about incredible benefits of certain health foods or certain diets or any multitude of anecdotal claims that just might be influenced one encouraged by the potential profit from selling the "magical" products.
Typical anti cable rant, signifying nada. In fact observations of the sound are perfectly good evidence in the scientific sense. Didn’t you know that?
