I know for as fact rick schultz had 3rd party testing done

Badman, perhaps the testing was done on amplifier output, not speakers, perhaps it was on just the DAC output stage, testing a single digital cable.
At these points in the signal chain, the relative differences of cables are magnified relative to total distortion levels.
You are just way out of line accusing people of being a fraud when you have no idea of the testing methodology (neither do I know it).
But I will tell you one thing, Rick told me the external testing company was most surprised about the SNR changes, rather than distortion reduction you are focusing on. To them that was even more impossible.
BADMAN SEZ:
So you know it for a fact but haven't seen the details of the measurement setup? So your fact is based upon "Rick said so". Not surprising, but still pathetic. Your misapplication of logic while condemning me for the same is even more pathetic. Anechoic chamber testing is all well and good (but not strictly necessary since you can use gating) but doesn't change the fact that to reduce system distortion by 14% you'd have to have at least 14% of system distortion originating from the cable interface. This is not the case in properly functioning gear, plain and simple, the measurements don't exist that back up the claims being made.
They were amazed by 1.5dB eh? That's just Rick making things up because it sounds like a good pitch, and you biting. 1.5dB is nothing.
The ignorance of the most basic aspects of performance is what allows Rick to make ridiculous claims without being challenged, backed up by tbg who fails to evidence anything other than his own foolish dogma.
Oh, and the whole claim of soldering magnets inline being inspired by Jesus is some freakish combination of delusional and manipulative.
