The Science of Cables
Outrageous claims by high end cable makers? Outrageous or simply the usual audiophile technical verbiage? Let’s take a look, shall we? Here’s an excerpt of the Valhalla 2 cable description from Nordost’s web site. Nordost is one of prof’s examples... 
Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.
I realize it’s frustrating but even after the arduous and supposedly magical 300 hour mark is reached there is still a long way to go. Proof? Hook those cables with 300 hours on them up to a real burn in device like the Audiokarma Cable Cooker for...

How predictable! That it apparently comes down to pro audio vs high end audio debate, after all. They use Mogami in the studio so that’s good enough for audiophiles. Oh, brother! Shut the cave door and back to pigmy country! 🦍

Uh, what are these extraordinary claims you guys keep talking about? Frankly I haven’t seen any. Unless you mean the claim, high end cables are better than clothes hangers. Looks like a big old Strawman argument if you ask me.

People are still arguing about cables?! Well, shut my mouth and call me corn pone. 
One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....
I trust this isn’t a Total Harmonic Distortion squabble. Because THD was shown to be a red herring dons ago.

I suspect the word Earth should be capitalized, yes?

Whoa! I did not see that coming. Prof is back, tan and rested and firing on all cylinders. 😛 I hate to judge before all the facts are in but it appears he wants to turn this place into a peer review council with himself as head peer reviewer. 
What is your experience with the law of diminishing returns ?
You guys gotta check it out. Low mass inexpensive systems are where it’s at. No more house AC, AC ground, no more speakers, speaker cables, amplifiers, preamps, interconnects, digital cables, fuses, no more transformers. No more distortion. No mor...
