@yping such as IMD, etcDistortions like TH, IM, TIM are active components faults.There are numerous other cable properties: Proximity Effect, Skin Effect, Purity, Metal, Plating, Insulation Dielectric, Fatigue, etc. All these properties have an ef... 
Curious How These Nordost Speaker Cables Do What They Do
@williewonka sorry you thought my post bombastic :-$ perhaps I get a bit carried away when fundamental laws are ignored. the current (i.e. energy), or maybe even the voltage, in the neutral (i.e. minus) conductor cannot possibly be the same as the... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
There are definitely instruments that can measure.I posted this earlier for @shadorne An appropriate plain cable or wire is not going to change amplitude or phase in any meaningful way.This link shows Phase and Impedance for 3 speaker wires:Bob Ca...

@shadorne I’m sorry if I’m not making my self clear.Seriously, please explain how one judges "faithful to the recorded music." I am truly interested because countless engineers have busted their asses for more than a century to bring playback ever...

@williewonka factors in cable performance is the "geometry" and "size" of the conductorsgeometry trumps materialsize affects resistance which is almost negligiblePeople, Electronics 101: Ohms Law : An amplifier / loudspeaker is a series circuit an...

@shadorne However a system’s degree of fidelity can be quantified in how faithful it is to the actual recording it is presented Who's on first? The instant the sound wave hits the microphone diaphragm, absolute HiFidelity is gone.Alan Turing [of T...

@shadorne  “faithful to the source recording”Ain't no such thing. Sound suffers the death of a thousand cuts. I once missed out on a Grammy nomination because the record company head ordered Bernie to add 3db of compression overriding the producer...

Spot on that cables are tone controls, as are components. See https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/it-s-simple Given CBLFs that are capable of detecting changes within systems:If you move systems from room to room along with the CBLFs and keep t... 
Curious How These Nordost Speaker Cables Do What They Do
@freediver If you want to know why, see https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/it-s-simple Your initial comments are entirely consistent with what one would expect from Acoustic Zen Epoch to a Nordost. The AZE have a poor PVC dielectric relative t...

@mr_m - I'm a long time lurker. A post mentioning a fuse that has directionality and another about letting 'overburned' cables rest were the last straws. Directionality? On A/C? As far as lions, bring 'em on. I love skewering.@dave_b - Spot on. Fo...
