To increase transparency of audio companies or specifically companies that make various cables would it be possible to get an entity like Consumer Reports to evaluate the cables? I'd love to see what they find under the techflex or coverings of some cables. It is my belief that for some cable makers all they take is conventional wire put some fancy coverings on them and quality connectors on the ends.
I found this something like this out when I bought some used cables a couple of years ago. The techflex and heat shrink got damaged on a speaker cable and when I was trying to re-terminate them I found they were just plain speaker wire with vampire wire spades and banana plugs on each end. I believe the company is out of business now though but I wonder how many other companies do this practice.
