Based on your own logic, a reference system has no weak links. Everything is equal. No single component is better than the next. If something were better or worse it would stick out like a sore thumb, because good cables highlight weaknesses, and reveal problems.
Continuing with your profound logic and through my own deductive reasoning - I can safely assume that the cables your produce are equal to and no better than a Sony DVD player which is no longer in production.
If the cables were better than the DVD Player, you would have been able to identify it as a possible weak link. In a system, an audio signal does not get better than the source that produces it.
Therefore I must say, I am not impressed.

I disagree. Until you have heard a superior system where there are no "weak links", one that is wired with truly low-loss IC's and speaker cables, you will not know what I am talking about. This "tone-control" mentality is what makes it really difficult to get an even playing field to compare cable performance.
