Which does not even take into account....

all of the possible resonant modes of the stuff at either end of the cable, and how audio frequencies may be modulating this mess, nor how modern devices may be capable of amplifying the residues... isn't that a large part of why Spectral engineered super high bandwidth gain circuits, effectively so they would pass through whatever HF-RF crap rather than acting as a selectively reflective wall... the entire Spectral philosophy appers to be that it is better to allow energy at all scales to freely move from one end of the sytem to the other rather that have local reflective effects... then it became MIT's engineering problem to very carefully manage impedence shifts at the end of the chain and on the ICs, something that would be a disaster with a simplistic ferrite deflector. Others, incuding HP, have claimed that Spectral actually sounds much better with network-less conductors like Nordost... my hunch here is that maybe the Z-cable products that use the ERS RF couple-and-drain method may work as well or better... less junk sitting on the line itself.
