RE: Objective Measurement Results for Cables

"What is significant, is that even right at the power amp, distortion is much higher with a real world loudspeaker load compared to a simple resistive load.

Back EMF from the speaker Jon? Now if this is being fedback into the amp and the amp has a high amount of negative feedback then you could possibly get this signal reamplified and who knows what you get then. I believe this kind of potential distortion was first pointed out by Otala in the late 70s.
