Analysis Plus Spker Cable Excellent Cable or Hype?

Don't know anything about the cables, but I always wonder what folks mean when they describe stuff as either "musical" or "not musical" (not addressing this specifically to you, Sunnyjim, as I realize you may simply be quoting others). Reviewer Art Dudley, for one (but not the only one), seems to find this description to be the height of relevance in trying to commumicate about the sound of audio gear. I, on the other hand, tend to find the term so completely vague and non-specific that I have no idea what it means in terms of the person doing the describing actually giving me any real feeling for how a particular piece of gear sounded to them. How is a reader supposed to take this description and make from it any judgements about how a piece of gear might work for them? If Analysis Plus cable is "unmusical", what does this mean about how it sounds? And what is "musical"? Far and away the numero uno most common criticism audiophiles ever level at gear is the accusation of "brightness" (and the related "thinness" or "hardness"), and I have commonly seen this assessment transmuted into the "not musical" charge. By comparision, gear that is described as being somewhat "soft" or "rolled" or "dark" or "plump" - in other words, roughly the antithesis of bright and thin, but possibly equally colored or incorrect - is just about never stuck with the "unmusical" tag. Qualities independent of tonal balance that make me think of unmusicality include high levels of high-order harmonic distortion or intermodulation distortion, any kind of non-linear distortion or noise, and over-damping either electrically or acoustically, but none of these things could easily apply to speaker cable. If "musical" just meant the absence of all offending qualities, then it should especially obtain when speaking of gear which is highly transparent and neutral, but it is rarely used for such. Sorry, not trying to hijack the thread with a rant or anything, but this issue has been on my mind lately...
