Kuribo, I once thought that you might be an adult, but now I see you as a teenager. The truth is that I want to control my own measurements. If someone, somewhere gets a null result with their test equipment, I will take note, but I still get different distortion results with the cables in my lab. However, some things have changed. For example, most of my RS cables now measure pretty good, but some other cables measure pretty bad. I think this is do to 'break-in' , another 'imaginary' mechanism that I find useful in understanding audio performance. I also think that contact oxidation (internal to the connector, as I clean the external parts of the connector) might also be an added factor because my worst cables are more than 10 years old. The oldest, and worst measuring cable, at the moment is about 20 years old, but is well made, with Tiffany connectors on each end. This was a surprise.
I didn't get any response from you, Kuribo, as to what you know about measuring equipment? Have you ever measured any audio components. I think we should put things into perspective.
