Amazing that they promised this test/report that was going to prove their claims for once and for all . . . and now not only has the test/report gone missing in action but they disappear as well?

No, that doesn't look shady at all!

Well, that's why I said harder. Especially hard when you use thick single strand wire like they do. I've recently been testing cable that contains 2mm * 2 solid core wire it in, and it gets rather stiff compared to some of the cables that I've tried before.

Maybe if they just didn't use plastic tubing to artificially bulk up their cable and try to make it look more expensive than it is...

You can't see it in the pic but it's right behind the Delorean they use to go back to the big bang. That's how they get Linipur conductors hand annealed by the gods.
