Stirred the pot eh? The claims of system wide distortion reduction are falsehoods. They simply cannot be- to reduce system distortion by 14% requires changes at the speaker level, not at cable level. All properly performing gear up to the speaker typically is well under 0.5% TOTAL, with some higher numbers possible in cases like SETs and whatnot. The typical speaker contributes well over 95% of distortion artifacts in a system, and that distortion is due to electromechanical realities over which the cables have no influence. Cables add exceedingly small measurable artifacts, primarily noise. No person who's ever used any meaningful test gear would argue otherwise, only true believers who accept wild claims without substantiation. Tell you what- anyone here want to theorize what mechanism could add 14% to both system THD and system IMD in a cable? Nobody understanding even the most elementary technical aspects of a system could accept such an absurd claim.
They might sound great, I have nothing against cables as a tweak, but when you make up impossible numbers, then you're a fraud. The claim is akin to claiming a fuel additive gave you 1,000,000 extra horsepower. That's not an exaggeration- the claims of 14% are many orders of magnitude from anything that could be claimed legitimately.
