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.

I missed where Harry said humans "hear" ultrasonics. Speaking of
obsession, you're hard on his heals this morning. Be careful to avoid
one of those '"Taming of the Shrew" in reverse' exchanges that give the
rest of us so much amusement.
