Lkdog,
You thrill-seeker, you! Nothin' like stirin' up some good controversy and watchin' the chunks fly. Get in there!
Anybody needing some technical info on cable testing by a non-cable manufacturer, take a peek at Pass Labs web site, and locate the "articles" page (under "products"). Amongst several good topics, is one about speaker cable interaction.
Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with, nor a personal friend of anyone who works there. Although, I do own several of his products.
Okay, continue with the carnage!
