Cable Snake Oil Antidote

One man’s technical jargon is another’s facts about the magnetic behavior of wire, as explained by an electrical engineer. No harm in that knowing the basics, unless one harbors an irrational fear of commonly-agreed-upon facts, or a distrust of anything coming from any member of the professionally-recognized electrical engineering fraternity.

Paul McGowan has never displayed any proclivity of appearing to try to look smart; that’s about the opposite of his personality. There ARE those who do, however. Paul, allow me to apologize, as it is unlikely to come from the source of the unearned and undeserved insult. Man, what a sick joke.

PS Audio part of a Belden Cable ploy? If Paul McGowen was going to push any cable, it would be those he has in the PS Audio sound room system, those made by his buddy William Low---Audioquest.

While Bill Low, Ray Kimber, George Cardas, and other HI-Fi cable designers may proselytise that the principles laid out in the Belden articles don't include all the design elements that contribute to the sound of cables, they don't dispute the truth of what the article DOES cover.
