Default Wire is Wire? Amp is Amp?

Have a read folks:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-end_audio_cables

Has anyone read this thesis in it's entirity? :

€œA New Methodology for Audio Frequency Power Amplifier Testing Based on
Psychoacoustic Data that Better Correlates with Sound Quality€?


"Daniel Cheever points out a number of flaws in conventional testing
that indicate the ear is extremely sensitive to tiny signals well above
the normally-expected range of human hearing. The high-order harmonics
to which he refers exert an influence on our perception of the sound
that is vastly disproportionate to their strength, to the point that
research from as far back as 1937 indicates that high-order harmonics
may actually exceed the subjective effect of their lower-order cousins."!!!!

So tell us "arns" how is all this wrong and how is all what u say "right"?



The Cheever papers were discussed in many audio groups.
As usual, it is a mix of truhs, half-truths and some untruths (at
least from a technical viewpoint).

I saw some things there that made explaining why I design my amps the
way I do, a little easier.

I have a friend who is into carbon-based interlinks and reports
substantial differences between that and standard copper cables.

Next, he's trying a speaker cable with a Z of 70 mOhm per meter.

Running 3 meters each side will give 0.42 ohms total in series.
I can imagine that this will sound different in some cases.
