Dear boy I used to DESIGN HiFi amplifiers for a living.


Well old fellow, things have moved on a little from then, although my
grandfather was using co-ax speaker wiring at least from 1960's with
tube amplifiers.


And test them with instruments and ears.


Phase shifts are not readily detected unless one specifically looks
for them and will tire a listener over a long period.
The resistance, however, has both.
More proof you are a complete plonker.
Odd that I managed to get 98% for level III electronics (circuit
design) in 1985. *They must have been lying to me. *;-)
They were. *Or you are (more likely) By that time I had desinged or


There's no likely about it, I attended all lessons while most of the
class were playing football and so was receiving one to one tuition at
times. *These lessons were advanced into level IV and much practical
knowledge was also received from an extremely knowledgable tutor who
actually enjoyed his job when he had students who listened.


Oh you have a technicians city and guilds designed for equipment
maintenance.

Not a degree at all. Not eeven an HND


The award was for a BTEC OND but there were extra modules included and
tested beyond the requirements for the award.

developed over 20 different power amplifiers for everything from audio,
to stadium and guitar usage. Hardly hypothetical.


So nothing to do with co-ax.
And spent more time peering into oscilloscopes, distortion meters
spectrum analysers and the like than you had had hot dinners, and at the
far end of coils of speaker cables too.


Only by miking up a loudspeaker can one get an indication of audio
performance in reproduction.


What in earth is wrong with your ears?

And of course you are completely WRONG. If what is coming out of the
amplifier is exactly the same what is going into the loudspeaker then
its a sure sign that the cable is doing the job of not getting in the way..


Oh don't tell me you tested amplifier response on a resistive load.

Id also worked on video frequency power amplifiers to drive fast CRTs
for military applications. Getting 5W at 20Mhz is not easy, even today,
when you want linearity.


Not that you appear to understand what that means.


Which suggests you are just an engineering trainspotter. You really know
noting, and its all big words from magazines.


So you havn't tried it. *Extended listening tests from good sources
demonstrate the effectiveness of using co-ax over zip-wire with 20'
lengths. *Try it.


hahahahah.


Obviously too much for you to bear.

Extended listening test have clearly demonstrated that you are a total
plonker.

Added to list of other plonkers.

Bye.
