No disrespect. While this may seem have some truth. Audioquest sells 1m high current cable, just on 1 search of cable. Cardas sells a .5m power cable.
No worries, none taken. One has to have pretty thick skin to be forum poster on audio forums these days. I like Cardas, he has the same manufacturers' speakers as me, and I have Cardas binding posts in mine, and have used his silver solder, but never tried his cables. Perhaps I should. He does things differently than many other cable designers and manufacturers and has stuck to his golden ratio philosophy throughout his career- that's fine. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to tell the sound quality difference between a 0.5m and a 1.5m power cable either and a 5 minute A/B.
Why does length matter? Wouldn’t circumference negate those required lengths. This sound very naim. This is bogglimg. Is ergonomic one of his objectives. Single stranded vs solid core would seem to weigh on dynamics and would seem to factor in, not to mention other dependent variables. I wouldn't think length is the complete factor. Things like power consumption would seem to have considerable differences too imo.
I have stopped trying to figure it out, and just listen. Because nothing makes sense. As soon as we think we know, we find out we really didn't. I have a physics degree, and I know nothing. And nobody else on this planet really knows how this whole energy wave propagation from amp to speakers along a conductor works either- and most likely nobody ever will- and that is probably a good thing. Some questions in life are best not answered- because with that answer comes power, and the knowledge won't be used to make good cables but produce and sell lethal weapons. There's more money in that business. I digress.
But we can still trial and error based using various ideas based on current knowledge and just listen, and if it works they come back and say "it sounds good because we use golden ratio, or ribbons for the highs and solid core for the bass, or square conductors, or a blend of silver and copper, or liquid gallium (remember TEO Audio?) , and cotton/teflon or polyolefin, or air tubes, or graphene as dielectrics etc.". And no, there are not sufficient measurements that can tell you how something sounds.
But I can pretty much guarantee a guy like Caelin, or Bill Low, has forgotton more about electricity, electro-magnetism and cable design than the people on this forum combined will ever know. I guess I need to demo one of his power cables now.
TL:DR Whatever. Don't care- Just let me listen to it.
