James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all

Muralman,

Those are very interesting ribbon speaker cables. I'm inclined to build a set myself to hear how they would sound with my set-up. I'll email you off-line.

Wire geometry will most affect highs. As you increase the spacing of wires you increase the inductance and therefore it will increase the "roll-off" of highs. This may make it sound perceptively warmer. So dangling wires with a large space between +ve and -ve conductors with large runs can indeed produce an audible difference....however, so can the treble tone control.

Vman71, I will look forward to your report. Thanks for the interest. Write me if you need any detailing.

Tbg - I am proper scientist - you are not and have had no scientific training in a rigorous scientific field. So much is fact. As is this - step up and claim Randis $1M and prove all us skeptics wrong. If you fail to do so then clearly your POV is called into question. Oh and please produce some peer reviewed material in a scientific journal that supports the pro cable lobby - oh but you cant because it doesn't exist!

For your information sampling theory refers to the digital realm not analogue interconnects. I suggest you take a brief tour of wikipedia on the subject. I have compared numerous cables myself - no difference exists that cannot be explained purely by LCR and shielding. I have no idea why you are making the erroneous assumption that I reject the pro cable lobby purely on the basis of theory.

Randi will pay out if you can prove your claims. So come on guys dont be bashful step up - what have you got to lose except your pride and credibility and a little bit of time?
