The problem is that if it is not a VOLTAGE change, but an increase in
AMPERAGE, your test is worthless. Remember, more amperage = better bass as
much, if not more than higher voltage. Potential without anything to
actualize that potential is worthless. Once you add any device to read the
current, you may very well be effecting the previous stage of amplification
with your load/meter. Get it now?

I
don't think there is a truly passive way to measure current is there? As
we
are talking a specific freq range you would also have to filter it out
of,
then back into the rest of the signal, that should result in a time
delay as
well I should think. I would think it would be rather hard to do.... The
voltage you ought to be able to see on a spectrum analyzer, but volts
w/o
current give you potential w/o action, though we are often feeding very
high
impedance loads when dealing with interconnects. Anyway, I would think
it
might be more difficult to measure than you might imagine and as I doubt
there is a truly non-loading method, you will not only be driving one
load,
but two or more, which may overload the source making measurements
impossible...

Hmmm, you have been doing all these mods, and you don't know how to
measure the bass response of a cable?

Sweep a sinusoidal signal in frequency, and measure the voltage across
the load, whether it is a speaker or a passive load. Compare the two
cables' repsonse over the full frequency range. What's the problem?

I get a kick out of the people in this

they
bother signing on here. :-)

Can you tell us who those people are?

My experience tells me that there are indeed differences in the sound
of
some components, some of which are musically significant, and some of
which
matter to me, since they align with my positive emotional reactions
and
my
listening preferences.

You mean differences that align with your negative emotional reactions
do not matter to you? Can you give examples of differences that align
with your negative emotional reactions?

I also have found that there is not always a
correlation between a component's cost and how much its sound appeals
to
me.
For example, I recently listened to a Tara Labs interconnect which
had a
list price of $1600/meter. I compared it to a similar length of DNM
wire
with Eichmann bullet plugs, and the latter presented much more detail
and
more realistic harmonic structure, although not as much bass.

How does a cable give more or less bass? Shouldn't that be measurable,
and if so, how come no one ever reported it?

It's your money--listen, trust your ears, and make your purchases
accordingly. And remember: it's supposed to be fun! That's a part of
the
"high end" we often forget about.
