Re: "...we have been fooling ourselves for years."

[ I don't mean to be rude or abrasive, just back up what you say. ]

Yes you do, and just as soon as you backup one of your claims.

[ You are attacking an authority before anything has even been presented or discussed. ]

If you are trying to present Stephen Hawkings as an authority on audio cables, then I would need to see the evidence that he is an experienced audiophile, as I have not heard that he is.

If you are trying to make an appeal to authority, and this is based on the further false premise that any authority will do, then you are now two BS levels deep into the muck, instead of just one.

[ When you say "establishment accepted levels of audible THD", who was this established by? ]

The mainstream engineers, psychoacousticians of the time. This info can be found in any number of sources, such as the various editions of The Audio Cyclopedia (Tremaine), as well as various AES articles, and other sources.

However, I am not going to do your homework for you, as it is not too hard to find this kind of info on your own.

Me:
Define sufficient.

MM: Well a simple definition would be a cable that passes an audio signal without audible degradation.

Sorry, no such beast exists yet. You only get flavors of more or less accurate. No perfection.
