Jon,
I have advanced degrees in both Physics and Electrical Engineering and lead design teams on the edge of technology and I can tell you that most of what cable manufacturers state is pure BS, unfounded in science and engineering. You may fall pray to their marketing and convoluted practices but no one with any technical knowledge will get sucker in by such claims. Cables are simply R-L-C circuits which produce a filtering affect on the transmission signal. You want good cables, try Gotham Audio from Switzerland; and guess what they are only cents per foot! It's time for the Great Audiophile Swindle to be exposed. And all this is coming from someone who owns more esoteric and exotic audiophile and studio mastering equipment than anyone on this site. Is time for people to wise up and stop lining these charlatans' pockets.
