Given all the lies and personal attacks...

...John has initiated against me over the years, I'm afraid he's an exception to the rule and things will always be somewhat contentious between the two of us.

>>Instead of clinging to that 30+ year old ST1700 and claiming there are canals on Mars, why don't you step out of the 1970's and get yourself a more modern, more capable, higher resolving test system?

Huh?

I didn't follow of of it, but it seemed like John said it got some results and you thought his gear was bad and he got the same result with other gear. Would you quit if he send you the gear to test?

What does it take?

He doesn't really say exactly what the "other gear" is.

All he says is:

However, I have also changed my Sound Technology for another unit, very much the same.

What does that mean? Does it mean he's using another model from Sound Technology? Or a different make that's designed very much the same as his Sound Technology unit?

In either case, it's entirely possible that they both have the same problems.

But here's the bottom line.

If it were the cables producing the distortion products shown in John's measurements, they would have stuck out like a sore thumb in Bruno's measurements which used an Audio Precision System Two Cascade.

That's because the AP rig can see more than 20dB below where John is capable of measuring. In John's measurements, his noise floor is about -120dB. The AP rig was measuring down to -145dB.

So it's clear that the distortion products in John's measurements ARE NOT being produced by the cables as John keeps claiming they are. The AP rig simply WOULD NOT have missed them if they were there.

The problem is clearly in John's system/setup/environment. That's his problem to deal with and until he does, he should stop passing off his measurements as proof of "micro diodes" in the wires that make up the cables or anything else for that matter.

Here's his famous quote from back in 2003:

Hate to be the one to tell you, BUT there are diodes in your metal wires. More than you will ever bother to measure. I have measured them.
