It seems to me that there is a certain school of thought that believes that all that can ever be known or measured with respect to electromagnetic propagation through wires for audio purposes and with respect to the amplification of audio signals is already known. I don’t have the technical background to pass judgment on the validity of this view point. I do know that I am inherently uncomfortable with a view point that believes that all that can ever be known about any particular subject is already known.This group seems to believe there is more to be discovered:

Perhaps something interesting will come from them.BTW, are you the “Abex” of AR fame?

Measure all you want, to determine which parameters cause which audible effect will take the brain power. I still think isolating the audible difference takes very little brain power to devise the test configuration, just haven't seen the results though.
""Measure all you want, to determine which parameters cause which audible effect will take the brain power.""Agreed

In the listening enviro, yes. I'm bound and determined to find a test in the electrical enviro.
John Es, have you run Hawksford's MATLAB simulation yet? I hope that you have it available to you, as I don't have it on my computer. Glad to see that you contacted Dr. Hawksford. Worked out well, didn't it?
I also do not have it on my computer. They tend to use a different math package here for magnetic and electrical analysis.Still discussing test techniques, possibilities with him.
It would appear my e-mailer did not forward my reply to you.
That will be rectified.
As for Dr. Hawksford....A very nice, articulate, scientifically minded individual. He is willing to question his methods and understanding of the topic, as well as clearly explain his analysis and reasons..Very pleasant to converse with.
Clearly a person we could all do well to emulate.
