10-4 Tom.
I remember being at an AES convention in L.A. back in the 70s, when Dan Dugan presented a paper on his automatic muting feature for live sound mixers for conference PA systems. And then there was Cecil Cable who described his "foot-fall" device to make repeatable foot fall noise measurements for building construction spec verification. Oh, and someone who showed that tire/road noise was a greater sound source than engine noise with regard to vehicle environmental noise. And let's not forget that guy Matti Otala with his paper about crossover notch distortion in amplifiers. 'Course, then there's also the team of Stanley Lipshitz and John Vanderkooy.
And, that Richard guy. What's his last name again? Oh yeah, Heyser. And listening to John Hilliard go on and on about loudspeaker design, well, ...
What a bunch of closed-minded people!! ;) I can see why Geoffkait wouldn't want to hang out with any of them.

...cables do not, and never will, "sound different". He exercised his ignorance extensively at the AES 91st. Just sayin'.
P.A.
Dick Heyser is one of my audio “hero’s”, I only met him once and didn’t say much (not wanting to put my foot in my mouth) but came away felling lucky to have been among audio giants that evening.
I have had a TEF machines for about 25 years now and between it and Dick’s writing, I could never have designed these loudspeakers without him.

As Don Davis once said, we stand on the shoulders of the giants who came before us.
Armed with the truth, on need not fear the outcome of technical scrutiny.
Hey Tom, that's very cool that you had a chance to talk with Richard Heyser. People like he and John Hilliard (who I had lunch with, along with Cecil Cable and Ron Streicher), Don Keele, Harry Olson, and others are like rock stars in the audio world.
