I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm way out to lunch here..... Look, we're talking about interconnects here, right? So wouldn't the 'benchmark' be no interconnect at all? - that is, the signal at the output of the amp is the signal at the speaker post - no interconnect. Hmmm... so how do we put this into a test rig? Why not start with an active system where the amp is in the speaker, and then tear it apart and stick 'interconnects' between the amp section and the speaker? One should then be able to argue that if there is any perceivable difference at all, it _must_ be a degradation (I defy anybody to try to tell me that a difference in sound _due_ to an interconnect is an improvement!) Say, can I get a million bucks for proving the cables are a waste of money?
