RE: We don't want to talk about it with the type that hang out in Prop Heads.

That is NOT duplication. Duplication is to use exactly the SAME test equipment and exactly the same test conditions.

Nonsense.

To duplicate a test you use the same methods and procedures.

It can be another unit, in a different location, but ALL conditions MUST be met. IF you don't, then all subsequent measurements are suspect. EVEN if the ORIGINAL test is somehow flawed, THEN the FLAW should be analyzed...

That makes no sense whatsoever.

If the distortion products were being produced by some inherent quirk in the test equipment, then how would you ever know this if all you ever do is keep using the same test equipment to duplicate the original test?

That's like saying that in order to determine if there are canals on Mars, you can only use the same telescope that Percival Lowell used, instead of a more powerful, higher resolving telescope.

...but the results should not be rejected, by testing with completely different equipment, with different drive and grounding, and saying it is the same. It is NOT!

Look, John, what was being tested for was distortion produced BY THE CABLES THEMSELVES. You know, the "micro diodes" in the wires themselves that you claimed your distortion measurements were proof of.

Now, if the distortion products in your measurements were in fact being produced by the cables themselves, then if you measure the very same cables using the same methods and procedures and a system which is much more resolving than yours, and there's no sign of distortion other than the system's residual distortion, then it's pretty damn clear that the distortion products shown in your measurements WERE NOT being produced by the cables themselves but rather were being produced by your equipment.

That's your problem.

Instead of clinging to that 30+ year old ST1700 and claiming there are canals on Mars, why don't you step out of the 1970's and get yourself a more modern, more capable, higher resolving test system?

Parasound's making good money off your name. Why don't they step up to the plate and get you a nice AP rig?
