Putting an end to the audio cable debate! Part 1


Interesting. But I wish they would have continued the article rather than cutting it off.

He uses many words to state what I have said many times for years; hubris combined with "thriftiness" = cable skeptic. It's not new, nor revelatory. One's degree has less bearing on disposition toward cables than financial /spending habits. THAT is why the debate will NOT be ended. The title is a come on to pump up the article's hits. 

We'll see if he actually knows what he is doing. It will be obvious.  
If anyone wishes to see a review of a cable that is made from a purely measurement-driven methodology, read my review of the Iconoclast Cables at Dagogo.com 
There have now been two suggestions to look at Belden cables. I point out in my review that Galen Gareis was head of development at Belden, and leaned upon his years of research there as an engineer to develop his own audio cables - Iconoclast. I share from my discussion with him that he had approached Belden to see if they would support his research on audio cables, but they felt it was not a large enough market. So, he did it on his own; kudos! 

Imo, Iconoclast is the closest I have seen to a pure measurement-driven methodology in making a cable that obviously influences sonic attributes of systems.
