Update from Nordost Heimdall to Frey speaker cable

"There are easily measurable differences in conductance, inductance and capacitance among cables."

Easily measurable? I do that in my lab but don’t find it easy at all. Those are the electrical characteristics of an audio cable along with impedance and propagation velocity VERY IMPORTANT. How do you measure your cables? Do you by any chance use a new audio precision analyzer?

"You’ll hear a difference because you expect to hear a difference but there really isn’t any difference (except an even more exorbitant price). "

I agree with you 100% thanks for the input.

My point is... so do you trust measurement data more than reviews/comments (made by influencers/paid trolls) you find on the internet or in magazines? A good example is this trans-Atlantic cable communications fiction. How much did he get paid...

I do believe cables (not p.c.) do make a difference but don’t have to be stupidly expensive to be a sonically/physically/aesthetically good cable. Do we still need 200 hrs of ’cable burn-in’ and oil lamps like DBS just sit on the cable... praying for a miracle? Recently I’ve discovered it’s an incomplete circuit. i will make a new thread on this topic. Note: i use this term "incomplete circuit" instead of "open circuit"               Or just don't bother and go hiking/fishing
