What do you all think?
1. If you have a 1M input impedance and a source impedance that is not just
high but also nonlinear, it does not take much shunt capacitance to make
a huge change in the frequency response.
2. These tests were clearly not being done with the same impedances you would
see in a guitar environment.
3. This isn't testing triboelectric noise either, which is a big deal. If
you slap the cable on the floor, does it go thump? Some cables will, some
will not.
4. Whoever did this has no idea what "cable impedance" means and they are
talking about series resistance when they say "cable impedance."
Now, these folks DO make the very good comment that price has nothing to do
with quality and that there are a lot of wacky expensive cables on the market
that are deliberately reactive and designed to change your sound.
But the actual measurements here are likely not valid.
