Backed up this time by, apparently, *presses pinkie to corner of mouth* one million dollars...

Peter s:
I guess my concern is whether such an experiment could be run in a convincing way...
Good point. I assume it's not as simple as it seems at first glance. Not for $1M, surely.
Otherwise, there would be ways to "rig" the results... say, using a medium/high output impedance amp+insensitivie speakers (or highly damped amp & overdamped spkrs) and a ref "cheap" cable that has much higher inductance (under normal load) than the 7k variety...
