What a shame.

 

Erik, I generally disagree.  These companies are not being as careful as they think they are.  They're just not on anyone's radar.

I tried to do something about that earlier this year but got nowhere. I reported two blatantly fraudulent companies to the FTC, and I also wrote to a dozen major magazines and newspapers suggesting they do an article about fraud in the high-end audio industry. Sadly nobody cares. Not enough money is lost to audio fraud, and most of the people who get suckered are spending their discretionary cash anyway. So it's not like fraud that targets low-income folks or the elderly.

Now, now,  It's not that I don't believe in it, it's because I don't want to be bothered by it.  Difference.

I wonder if you feel that way about political campaign donations.

As a cable supporter, irrespective of my support, a sincere kudos for your efforts.

By gosh and golly, this is great!

 

If you'd like I could dish up a 1, 2 and 3m cable using some nice litzendraht wire.

 

Regardless, really looking forward to the final paper.

Just an update, I haven't forgotten about the tests and will be doing the test hopefully in the next month or so. I have the materials though so its just a matter of performing the tests and documenting everything.
