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


I'd like to get your take on why high-end manufacturers don't post measurements? would you like to see how a cable measure before ....does it matter to you?

b4icu,

"It’s obvious that you have nothing smart to say, so you use derogatory language."

Thanks for this derogatory comment before you even attempted to say anything smart.

My comment about 0, or even 00, was based on following your other thread. If you found that observation derogatory, maybe it is time that you change your calculations.

Why don’t you just repeat that whole thread? Ask people again about their amplifiers and calculate what gauge cable they would need. Then go and hide for a year again.

I do not hide. I didn't see any reason to keep fighting there not friendly dealers at a time no more were interested to try it.
I'd returned and will as many times as I like. Any problems with that?
If Amp's DF is high, at 9' length, a #0 or #00 is required.
So suggest the calculation, so it improves the sound.
I wonder, how come you never tried it, and still keep nugging. 
Do it (DIY) and then come back and say your say.


From your words it seems there’s a bit of envy over people being able to spend.
ROTFLMFAO! 35 years ago I had $25k+ expended. Today, I could spend $$$$, but since $$$$ has ZERO correlation to musicality, why would I? Do I get a pass for having ≈$5k in speaker cables for my Tri-Amped system?

The more “ opinions” we get, and ones that seem to confirm each other, the more reliable we can expect the results in our homes to be.
You miss the point. Most recommendations are by fan-boy owners. Judging by what I hear in high shops of products recommended here, most systems are terrible at the parameters I value. Conversely, my recommendations would fall on deaf ears. Literally!

It is impossible for anyone to advise on performance of a component vis a vis another in a system other than their own.

Last year, I auditioned some $6k & $12k balanced interconnect cables in a fine dealer system. All Mac electronics, B&W 80?, dual REL subs. A very good system, one I could easily enjoy. Swapping in the $12k between the pre & power amps destroyed the sound field. It sounded like I'd put two graphic equalizers in series, alternated boost & cut and then reversed on the 2nd. Time coherence was destroyed! UNLISTENABLE!!

You might ask, "How did I know which was correct?"

I recorded and mixed the music, receiving a Grammy nomination for my trouble.
b4icu,

"I’d returned and will as many times as I like. Any problems with that?"

Not at all,

"If Amp’s DF is high, at 9’ length, a #0 or #00 is required.
So suggest the calculation, so it improves the sound."

Notice that my observation seems to have been correct. 0, or even 00. I wonder, how come you never noticed it, and still keep nugging.

I have never tried 0, or 00, cables. As you noticed, they are quite inconvenient to work with. Not to mention that I am suspicious about the idea of finishing a thick cable with a thin cable and then pretending it is all thick cable. I may be wrong about that, but I am not wrong about the weight of the cable, connections, and other practical issues, potentially introducing more problems than solving them.

As a side note, my speaker cables are gauge 9 or 10 (I forgot), were in $100-200 range for 2m, and are made by an "audio company". They look very professionally put together. Much more professionally than 0 with a thin strip at the end. Notice that they are not 12 or 14.

EDIT: They are 11, not 9 or 10.
