The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation
We are speaking of made up terms and euphonics.When we are talking about "High end analog" as compared to routine CD, it sounds better to most people.A bunched of aged audiophiles who grew up with vinyl is not "most people". (I fall somewhat into ...

No, you think it sounds better to you. That is completely meaningless to other people.. 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
Leave the thread as a monument. I would not erase this history. 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
That’s the one @djones51 , the same thread that includes this little ditty, apparently from the starter of this topic "Note, there is no frequency component in characteristic impedance and it applies for DC attached."Hey note to the op, your equat... 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
We use low frequency square waves if we want to cover the audio band. A 10Khz wave may be used to show amplifier extended frequency response which is only important for showing phase shift.A 10Khz square wave has exactly one frequency component, 1... 
VPI Magic Brick threads deleted
On a non toroidal transformer this would likely increase the leakage inductance which is akin to putting another inductor in series with the transformer but likely not a very big one. For power supplies that could quiet them down but could add aco...

Oops forgot about that whole square wave error as well. I lost count. 
High end Class D amps?
There is only one so far that has taken Class-D and it’s operation to the technology edge, that "could" even better the best Class-A or A/B’s. And that is the Technics SE-R1 that uses linear power supplies, the latest GaN devices, and has taken... 
High end Class D amps?
"Class-D likes benign 4-6ohm loads with low - phase angles, and that’s what the Maggie’s are, but when the loads get tough, then big Linear Amps come out to play."Why would a Class-D amp care about phase angle? Many have higher impedance at high...

We are doing a Zoom session 6 PM GMT 5 Dec, and we will show you the test with the same cables.Great so you are going to do a zoom call that shows that lower inductance cables have less voltage drop than higher inductance cables, something almost ...

Exactly what errors? Really. Now that just comes across as insincere attempt at deflection. I have very clearly my posts highlighted what 5+ errors - Speaker electrical model does not match impedance curve shown.- I will add that as well this is I... 
Tinned Copper Cable vs. Bare Copper Cable for speaker wire?
Cardas solder is only 4% silver. More marketing that anything.  There are regular lead free solders with up to 3-3.5% 
*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters
Many people more knowledgeable about transmission lines and electricity have pointed out all the issues with this "white paper". No change has been made. That says a lot.  
Tinned Copper Cable vs. Bare Copper Cable for speaker wire?
Just tell people it is silver plated :-) 
Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me?
The test you did Mihalis sounds well thought out and the results exactly as expected.It is possible for the incoming data stream to impact clock timing but that would be expected in a poorly constructed $50 USB DAC from China not an MSB, not to me...
