Who's responsible for the caption on the Nola wiring picture? Nordost cable is not silver, it copper with a silver cladding. There's a difference.

That would be me.

I was repeating what I had been informed. My apologies for not fact-checking.

  Thank you for acknowledging that. This is something that reviewers and their editors should strive to avoid, as much as possible. Not as bad in Stereophile as in some other publications and web sites, where text often reads more like a handout, with just enough personalization to create a false sense of insight.
  
  No one should expect audio reviewers to be able to discern all the technical minutiae in a given product, and it would be useful to use more "according to..." attributions.

That is a game changer right there!
