RE: please share (nt)

The Audioholics articles do indeed express that issues presented as "significant" by some cable manufacturers, such as skin effect, strand jumping, dielectric absorption, break-in and cable resonance, are negligible to non-existent at audio frequencies. They provide support for their beliefs using models based on principals of electronics and physics. They believe there are benefits to having sufficiently low resistance in speaker and power cables, twisting and shielding to reduce RFI, low capacitance interconnects, and solid terminations. Calling these articles a "joke" IMO is unfounded based on the analytical support they provide, relative to the absence of support provided for the claims made in the marketing literature of some manufacturers.

I do believe that I hear sonic differences between cables, but I am also open-minded that the reasons for those differences may be different than some of the over hyped reasons provided in the marketplace. It is also my experience that the differences I do hear are nowhere close to those resulting from a component change.
