Re: Grasping at straws, MKULLER?

Well, jj really IS an expert in psychometrics and knows more about audio DBTs than all the rest of us put together. He's a Fellow of the Audio Engineering Society, too. Pity he hasn't posted here for some time--I suspect he is busy.

Mr. Kuller and some others like to put out the straw man that we hold that "every cable sounds the same." When one points out that under some conditions, they have been proven to sound different, he invalidly jumps to the conclusion that "every cable sounds different." I think he does it deliberately, too.

I think jj was referring to at least one of these two articles and perhaps others:

Laurence Greenhill, Speaker Cables: Can You Hear the Difference? Stereo Review, August 1983. 30 foot lenths of 16 gauge and 24 gauge wires were audibly distinguishable using Kef 105.2 speakers.

Fred E. Davis, Effects of Cable, Loudspeaker, and Amplifier Interactions. JAES, Vol. 39, No. 6, 1991, June. He thinks 12 guage speaker wire is good enough for most applications.
