Your expererience simply does not mirror the experience

which account for only a portion of our customers whom we have had
direct contact and discussion with about the effects.

So, when I need to learn about how a signal is conducted down a
cable, I should talk to me doctor, right? WHich of the engineers
and scientists have experience in the relevant field? Why did
you not include lawyers and accountants? CEO's and CFO's?
Plumbers? Why, hell, why did you forget electricians? They must
know a LOT about speaker wire!

So you have a difference of opinion. So what?

Because despite your fervent wish to the contrary, all opinions
of a technical nature are NOT created equal, and whether you are
willing to accept the fact or not, claims about the performance
of physical performance of objects such as speakers and wires
are technical in nature. And technical claims ARE subject to
technical verification.

In that light, the "opinion" of a doctor or a structural
engineer or a molecular biologist or a hi fi salesman about the
nature of the conduction of signals down a speaker wire has
a MUCH lower value than the INFORMED TECHNICAL opinion of an
electrical engineering or a solid state physicist.

The hi fi world has "invented" such explanations as
"microdiodes" and the necessity of the signal to "jump" across
strands and such. SOlid state physicists, who, when they go to
that bathroom, forget more about this stuff then the entire
hi-wnd realm ever knew, have never ONCE observed "microdiodes"
nor the claimed effects at signal level orders of magnitude
lower tha what would be significant in audio. A basic knowledge
of Ohm's law will show why the "strand jumping" claim is
completely bogus.

Are you claiming that a doctor knows more about how signals
propogate down wires than electrical engineers or solid state
physicists? Are you claiming that a hi fi store salesman is in
posession of knowledge that trumps that of experienced engineers
working for the likes of Tektronix, Hewlett Packard, Bruel &
Kjaer. If so, you could make MILLIONS by showing these companies
how wrong they are.

These, sir, are TECHNICAL claims, and subject to TECHNICAL
verification. And when subjected to such, those making the
claims are embarassed by them.
