I must write a few words in defence of "wire is

Wire, let us say 20 ft of 12 gage speakercable, has a
virtually flat frequency response and zero
distortion. That doesn't leave much room for
believing it colors sound.

It's flat up to about 100khz or so. Above that the
self inductance and the skin effect contribute to
roll off. Some of the esoteric cables are flat to
well above 100khz. This is not important to me, but
it appears to
be important to some.

It's very important if you're entertaining bats and
some other small creatures.

Or listening to Gamelan music.

Note that Harry fails to grasp the well-known fact that
musical instruments that create ultrasonics abound. The
rare item is even one human who can consciously perceive
them.

That's the joke Harry referred to in the portion of his
post you deleted:

"(that's an "in" joke for Arny and other trespassers from
RAHE)"

The judges would also have accepted "listening to lps of
Harmon-muted trumpets."

So Stephen, you're saying that Harry's contention that humans hear
ultraonics is a joke? You're being too kind - its an obsession.
