Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements?

My speaker cables aren't hi end so I was able to find specs on them.

It reminds me of the time when I was a kid and would dream about owning the best amp in the world when I got wealthy. I would endlessly pour over spec sheets seeking to find the one with the most power, lowest THD and the highest damping factor. I knew the perfect recipe back then, and listening didn’t even come into it.

b4icu,

I am quite familiar with Moshe Dayan from some stories, but have never known about his appreciation of art.

I did follow your previous thread and it eventually came down to gauge 0, ok even 00, with all the inconveniences of connectiong it to an amplifier. Which then gets done with much thinner wire. Nobody was recommended gauge 12, I think.

Transparent is the worst offender. Their cables have "Networks" that are enclosures somewhere in the middle of the cables. What's in there? They ain't talking. I owned a cheaper model and the network was made of plastic. The cables were balanced so there were 2. So I broke it, but I got it open. There were shunt filters which consisted of a cheap Radio Shack capacitors in series with an equal quality resistor going from the mains into the ground lead. So in theory they could have "shunted" some HF noise, but these were $350 20 years ago. Their top of the line speaker cables, The MM Opus, has a network the size of a football and it's made of a sealed composite. Only 40 large. 40 big ones for a cables they won't even explain how it works.
