The Science of Cables


It seems to me that there is too little scientific, objective evidence for why cables sound the way they do. When I see discussions on cables, physical attributes are discussed; things like shielding, gauge, material, geometry, etc. and rarely are things like resistance, impedance, inductance, capacitance, etc. Why is this? Why aren’t cables discussed in terms of physical measurements very often?

Seems to me like that would increase the customer base. I know several “objectivist” that won’t accept any of your claims unless you have measurements and blind tests. If there were measurements that correlated to what you hear, I think more people would be interested in cables. 

I know cables are often system dependent but there are still many generalizations that can be made.

You select, install, and promote cheap parts also that you try and persuade and convince others that they are "superior" but they are not they are only different you do this to promote you're flawed, incomplete, faulty "Tru-Fi" concept, premise, and protocol that is incomplete especially because you overlook ICSS distortion and use improper, incomplete, and poorly executed cables in your Music Reproduction Systems.
bo1972 "They use cheap parts which we replace by superior ones."

You replace parts that have been carefully selected, evaluated, and tested with different also cheap parts as a way to convince those who do not know better that you’re "Tru-Fi" approach is superior and valid and that you are qualified, expert, and capable of choosing parts which actual degreed engineers have personally certified as superior! You tell us that we "don’t know F. about high end audio" when you are unwilling to understand, accept, and accommodate the problems of ICSS distortion which reveal that you’re "Tru-Fi" approach is unscientific, incomplete, and tragically flawed, defective, and unproven.
Also when you modify, customize, or alter an electronic component with different parts you run the risk of fire, electrocution, and an invalidated warrantee especially when those parts are selected, chosen, and installed by someone who lacks proper training and education and your insurance company will reject and deny, any claim arising as a result, consequence, or outcome of any such modification

We work our way and respect is a lot more important than money ever will be. I receive each week emails of people who aks advice and want details of which cables or products we advice for their system.

But we work totally different, I will never tell them. We are not interested in selling just separate products. We create sound by how it is formed and which aspects it owns in real. We do not want people to get systems which cannot reveal all the aspects of sound.

When people would know more about how music sounds in real it will make them understand easier why their own systems sound so different. When you do not teach people how voices and instruments sound in reality, they will keep on buying products who can sound a lot different.

There are too many brands in cables who emphasizes a certain freq.range. But based on the fact that audio is done by trial&error they will never understand the influence and DNA of this particular cable. Trial&error will not give them the information that this cable emphasis a certain freq. response. 

Trail&error will always make you different faults within any system you want to create. This is why at the end your system can still not reveal all the aspects of sound which your music owns. The sound and stage your systems produce will always show what is there and what is missing.
