That's astonishing. The Er of the insulation must be in the thousands. Unless it's some sort of flat foil construction.

What utter horseshit.
I blame operator error. There is no way that the equipment was that far off cal.
This Thompson guy is an idiot. He (you, idiot) probably idealized the test, and didn't even have audio drivers in the loop.

Yeah, sure. It was done with a 3-d rendering package.
READ the specs, ditz!
Christ! Another wiki-retard!
You are worthless. I never said anything about believing anything.
If they are taking money, there has to be a physical product that they are selling. Not that someone that knows nothing about motion could grasp that.

"Godzilla versus the Night Nurses" had to be pulled from distribution because of the restraining order from the Tapioca Pudding Institute. it instead went directly to 8-track and became an instant classic.

Actually, at least some speakers use ferrofluids in their air gaps..

Doesn't that high temp plastic they make spatulas out of good for like
50 years without degradation?They should make the surround gaskets out of it. At least for the woofers.
No need for speaker oil!

I just measured some of mine at about 100 pF/metre for twin core with something like 5mm^2 of copper in fine stranded conductors. Provided the wire is well up to the peak current required it will work fine.
It is a very bad idea to wire up hifi with grotty twincore bell wire. That really is not up to the current carrying capacity.
There are some completely nutty audiofool cables around that present a rather too large capacitive load to amplifiers and can make certain unlucky combinations of amp and load unstable!

You could always try out the following cable and a suitably flighty amp.

They vary from 1.5-5 nF/m which is enough to send some amplifiers into wild oscillation in the 5-10MHz region for typical cable lengths. It was more of a problem when insane amplifier bandwidth was all the rage.

It think for that price you can put an amplifier locally next to each speaker, and use a normal 600 Ohm audio cable correctly terminated, or optical.

From what I could tell...
He wants an example of an unstable combination that was mentioned.

Sure, as long as you didn't have to prove it! In any case you certainly didn't prove any difference you *possibly could hear* had anything to do with that infitesimal distortion level (and that was only THD anyway)
And still no mention of what you used for source material that you think had less than 0.003% distortion!
Irrelevant other than the fact you can now claim that proof is no longer possible! :-)
You do realise what a wanker this claim is making you look right?

You use a 70V/100V distribution system. I guess you don't know that!

So no crossovers then?

Well cat5 or fibre optic digital distribution is common now, but previously it was 70/100V distribution. Either way 250' speaker cables and low impedance speakers are NOT used, except by morons.

My first thought on reading this is that i could make a plastic box that does nothing and print up a fancy brochure, sell it for $500, and drive this product off the market.
The I realized that cheap doesn't work in this market. Therefore I plan to sell it for $2000 each and drive their product off the market.
