That's not exactly my point - if the surface is corroded, then the higher frequencies will tend to travel through corroded or oxidised metal. I once worked for an inspection company that measured surface cracks in metal using AC current and measuring voltage drops. It isn't a timing issue, but one of current travelling through a higher resistance surface to the orginal clean surface. And the frequencies don't need to be that high. Whether you can hear it is debatable, but it can be a genuine effect on cable conductivity. -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29025 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
