Next time I'll wrap the pill in bacon.To use the word "Jon" (Risch) and "understated" in the same sentence seems unusual because he claims to have such incredible hearing ability that he can hear differences among one dozen different wire insulation materials under double-blind conditions with high scores and can rank-order those materials by sound quality.
I, on the other hand, tried to replicate his alleged wire experiment but could never find speaker cables that were identical except for their insulation materials.
I did get to compare a $1000 Tara Labs speaker cable with $10 of 14AWG Radio Shack speaker wire and heard no difference, along with almost one-dozen other audio club members.
I didn't write a white paper about the test, get it peer-reviewed and published in an audio journal ... but only because a pitcher of beer was spilled on the data sheets.
