you Touch on the subject off signal cables here, speaker wires can be a little different due to low impedance speakers high currents etc, there is a real effect albeit small and easy to fix. but signal cables as you say :) You have to commit a gross design error iether in the cable or the asosiated equipment for it make an iota off difference. Actually both are probably common :-/ Afiak speaker wires the important factors is R L C in that order, for signal cable C L R but at 1 m length you have to do something bizzare to make it count. like having small boxes on the cables ( mit and some others ) or no screen etc etc, carbon fibres like van den hull -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
