I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
Yet, using such tricks skews other performance parameters, that ARE NOT MEASURED as pat of the standard measurement sets, yet still COUNT. We are routinely testing maybe 1-5% of all the parameters that are needed for accurate sound reproduction, ...

May have to rename the site Audiokarens. It's a measurement. It has no emotion. Amir didn't call your favorite piece of audio equipment ugly, the measurement did. I ordered a pair of the Fiio 5 IEMs that he reviewed with very low distortion. So ...

Your obsession is really bizarre. 1+1 = 2, whether I went to Harvard or a 3rd rate college, or whether I use a calculator or piece of paper. I work with academics. They try to do this when they are losing an argument. They try to find out your a...

Oh great, the strange obsessed conspiracy theory guy is back. Happy Friday everyone. Would it make you happier if I asked the engineers at work if they have something close to a 1.8 ohm resistor of suitable size that I could add to my speaker cabl... 
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
The why not take it for a test drive sounds like a good idea. Works on the track. Then you have to accept that a car that "feels fast" may not deliver the best lap times. If you are racing "feels fast" does not get you on the podium. What are you ...

I didn’t see anyone complaining about price. I saw you putting down people though. Your lack of understanding is not a fault in other people.

@noske  That is what I normally see is lots of impressive sounding words, but they never talk about audio. A cable with 94% of the speed of light? That sounds very impressive. How does that matter for what gets to my speakers? I think that is a ca... 
New Analog Technology???
I never ceased to be amazed at the hubris of some people with money and a platform to think that they are uniquely smarter and more knowledgeable than all the scientists and engineers who have trained and worked all their lives on similar and usua...

My cables are equivalent to about 11 awg. That mean's their resistance (about 8 ft) is 0.02 ohms in total based on an online calculator. I assure you bugredmachine, there is no magic in flat or round, the same electromagnetic equations still appl...

@nonoise , Can you point to any scientific papers that validate your hypothesis? I have a strange past time. I strive to make the perfect cola syrup (preferably diet, but that is whole different ball of wax). We all have our vices. One of the ma...

@bugredmachine , You made the comment no one is buying Fidelium because of the resistance. No, because until I raised the issue, I no one seemed to know. I took a look at your system. Nice speakers and electronics. You mentioned you had 11 foot, ... 
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
@pani, how do you identify who is who?

It is not copper. I have surmised, based on the marketing information, I believe with some accuracy that is is a nickel copper alloy. There are not many readily available alloys that meet all the criteria. I has been verified that my estimates of ...

@noske  I calculated as much as 1.45 mm^2.  Looking at an online chart, that is between 15 and 16 awg. The resistance comes from the materials used in construction, not the very thin nature of it.

Are you still going on about this? You don’t even expect measurements from 99.9% of audio companies, but you nit pick because a test site that produces likely accurate results within the framework of the measurements they are taking, produces resu...
