Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

RE: Hi Jon

Sorry. You missed my point. I guess I didn't do a good job of making it. What if the mysterious problem of speaker cables involves the interaction of non-linearities in the associated components with the (more or less linear) properties of the cables? You aren't going to see this if the drivers get replaced with resistors. (Some of the graphs in the article linked by the OP already demonstrated the lack of cable effects with resistors.)

Why does one care about measuring cables? By themselves cables have no sound. They are just a pile of metal and plastic. It is the system that one listens to and that's what needs to be measured. (Or simulated, as I'll bet with a good simulation one could see all of the complex interactions.)
