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

Mr. teo_audio

Unfortunately, the article you linked to, is a lot of none relevant BS.
I lost it when I came across the "burn in". The only explanation for that with a copper cable is that it doesn’t sound good, and the salesman try to postpone the return, by convincing with the longer listening, the cable will brake in and sound better. I don’t know of how many that helped, but lately it is no more a hit among Audiophiles. They got a wake up call from their common sense. A genuine miracle. 
The article gives no definite answer what cable I (or you or anybody else) need. So you sent me read a long article with a dead end. That was the case when I started reading. What a waste of time.

There is a methode, but it won’t be cut into stone, as all cable makers will oppose it, to protect their markets, manufacturing methods and sales buzzwords. It won’t happen. Some of their representatives are those who are my strong opposers. 

As I claim, there is a methode. Not everybody need to like the results. From what I’d learn, most do ! (9 out of 10).
They about to approve the COVID-19 vaccine, for less success (6/10).
I hope for the health of all, that we get a better than that result from tests.
Regarding my methode and speaker cables, 9 out of 10 is good enough for me. No one will die from the 1q10 that won't like my way. 

From what I’d learn, most do

Far more eat at McDonald’s than Maxims.

The "Burn In" comment is sarcasm. I’ve changed it for dim witted:

"The poor schlub gets the item home, connects it to vastly different gear and rightly determines the sonics are worse. Hence, he’s advised 100’s hours are required to burn in. Poppycock! All that happens is the victim gets used to the change and convinces himself it got better. Meanwhile, the temperature, pressure, humidity, line voltage and CBLF frailties have changed. Burn In is BUNK! "

@ieales,

'So what is your mission or drive?

Protect the uneducated from charlatans.'


A good and principled answer.

I'd even argue that calling them charlatans is giving them a large benefit of the doubt.

Many reviewers, magazines and parts of the industry have formed a mutually beneficial society with the snake oil cabal.

In fact the shameless scoundrels seem to be 'as thick as thieves' on this important issue.

So it's essential that there are people who are willing to present the truth.

There is not a single shred of evidence, other than the plethora of the merely anecdotal, that there is anything whatsoever to be gained from going above and beyond basic ofc cable.

Or even a soldered iron  coat hanger!

I was going to suggest someone should repeat the old coat hanger v monster cable death match battle.

But lo and behold, guess what?
Someone already has.

I don't know that I have ever seen a cable thread on this site that has actually benefitted audiophiles in making superior audio systems. This is no exception.   

That's because for some unfathomable reason so many audiophiles insist on talking about specs and design and marketing malarkey, pretty much everything except for the only thing that matters, which is how they sound. All anyone has to do to find exceptionally good cables is focus on listener impressions. The Synergistic CTS and Atmosphere wire in my system is truly remarkable, and well worth the money. Worth as much as the speakers, at least based on their improving the sound quality just as much. If people aren't having this experience with cables, or threads about cables, its only because they're doing it all wrong.
