ONE MINUTE Premium Power Cable Survey

Just a little housekeeping issue:

My plan with Survey Monkey had a limit on the number of responses and survey questions. There were a couple of questions that I thought were very important and I decided to pay the upgrade charge this morning so I could include them.

Early survey responders did not see these questions. Sorry about that. This was not an oversite, but due to the number of responses, I felt it was worth the investment to include these two additional questions. Although early responders will not be able to change their responses, it looks like we’re going to get a nice sampling (40+) of responses to have a good result to share with the group.

I have to say that I am VERY surprised by some of responses so far.

Just a procedural question. How do you keep one person from answering multiple times to mess up your results?

Done

Good morning. And good question.

Wlhen someone revisits the survey they get an alert from Survey Monkey that they have already taken the survey, and is presented with no other options. There may be a "firewall" here that’s easy to work around that I haven’t tried yet. Also, it would be a simple task to revist the survey from another device and the survey would see that user as a "new participant". So, theoritically, you could participate in the same survey as a different user from your desktop, laptop, tablet, phone or your Samsung microwave oven app. There may be an industrial version out there that has face recognition, samples DNA or scans your record collection to see if you have any counterfit copies of the Led Zepplin IV album to reduce the likelinhood of fraud to close to zero, but I just wasn’t that ambitious. Maybe a PIN assingment or password might be something to look into -- next time?

Hopefully, the participants entered the exercise in good faith. That’s the best I could ask from a group of friends.

I think that is good enough and any further action needed on our part would lower sample number. I was not complaining, but I just thought of the people who seem to dedicate their lives to proving cables are, or are not important to our hobby, and it looked like they might be able to tilt the actual findings.

I look forward to the results. Thanks for the thread.
