Cables ... no longer opinion


PS Audio has already did the research. The answers are available forevermore.
The testing is sound, and not flawed. Their test results find exactly the same results my cable manufacturer found and preached. Josh from Downsize Audio Cables also found two strips of foils, stacked on top of each other and secured together made the best sounding speaker cables. I've tried all kinds of hyper expensive cables to dethrone the Downsize Audio foils ... NOTHING comes close at any price.
      Downsize used a genuine teflon backed adhesive tape, double sided too, and custom rolled, extra thin foil of 6N purity. BUT he told me a person can get 90% of the same sound quality, using off the shelf inductor foils and standard thin packing tape. Try it and save tens of thousands of dollars.

Which btw, thanks for that, flaxxer.
You say the cutest things that only souls who think like you would understand and I’m so thankful I’m not one of them.
Seems I overlooked the fact that the handle for the OP is flaxxer, so, my bad. I'm just used to you using all manner of jargon to describe people. Everything else I said is as said.

All the best,

Did it ever occur to you that folding or separating the two conductors and then running them, one atop the other, as an experiment, would suffice enough to see and hear for yourself that the concept has something in it to work with, saving yourself a sizable sum of money?

Like I said earlier, Ed Shilling has been doing this for decades.

Ed Shilling of Hornshoppe Horns used copper foil ribbon speaker cables that he made for himself. Back when I had his speaker, I noticed them on a photo on his site and asked about them. He said they were better than any cable he tried and were cheap and easy to make. I never did take him up on his offer and maybe should have. That was about 25 years ago. (maybe even 30)
