Hi Gary,
Oh, I'm well aware of the ravings of the audiophools and the carnival
barkers who extract money from them -- they were routinely the topic of
considerable merriment when we gathered in the bar at meetings of
professional audio societies (I'm a Fellow of the AES and an emeritus
member of the Acoustical Society of America).
Bob, K4TAX, is also retired from the world of pro audio.
73, Jim K9YC

I just visited your page and find it very eye opening.
While I was aware of the effects to which you refer in your article on
“Transmission Lines at Audio Frequencies”, I had not seen the actual
plots of the responses before.
I am sure you are aware, but lots of sellers of very expensive audio
cables exploit the effects to which you refer, effects that are
negligible (as you state) at cable lengths less than 500 feet. These
sellers contend the these effects can be heard at 10 foot lengths and
claim to have somehow compensated for these effects in speaker and
coax cable costing well over $500 per foot in some cases.
This is in the same bin as the fellow’s device intended to “degauss”
compact disks, which are, of course, made of polycarbonate and
Aluminum, both of which are non-magnetic.
Read the following bunch of BS and you will know what I mean:
