Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements?


I'd like to get your take on why high-end manufacturers don't post measurements? would you like to see how a cable measure before ....does it matter to you?

It’s obvious that you have nothing smart to say, so you use derogatory language.
#0 or #00 or #000, yes. Most cables out there are #12 - #14 awg and are insufficient for higher DF SS Amps.
Yes, they are cheap to make and easier than doing a #0 awg cable.
I just made one this Sat. It is difficult to work with such a cable (#0 awg). I had to fight with it a half day to get it done.
Also materials are more expensive. They waight 1.85 kg. each (x4).
Design issues. A MIL STD or airborne unit MUST go through some maticolouse design phases. It shall assure a perfect product.
The way today speaker cables are made, is the worst. Nothing is professional. A big shame for all involved.

b4icu,

"It’s obvious that you have nothing smart to say, so you use derogatory language."

Thanks for this derogatory comment before you even attempted to say anything smart.

My comment about 0, or even 00, was based on following your other thread. If you found that observation derogatory, maybe it is time that you change your calculations.

Why don’t you just repeat that whole thread? Ask people again about their amplifiers and calculate what gauge cable they would need. Then go and hide for a year again.
Mr.  glupson

I do not hide. I didn't see any reason to keep fighting there not friendly dealers at a time no more were interested to try it.
I'd returned and will as many times as I like. Any problems with that?
If Amp's DF is high, at 9' length, a #0 or #00 is required.
So suggest the calculation, so it improves the sound.
I wonder, how come you never tried it, and still keep nugging. 
Do it (DIY) and then come back and say your say.


From your words it seems there’s a bit of envy over people being able to spend.
ROTFLMFAO! 35 years ago I had $25k+ expended. Today, I could spend $$$$, but since $$$$ has ZERO correlation to musicality, why would I? Do I get a pass for having ≈$5k in speaker cables for my Tri-Amped system?

The more “ opinions” we get, and ones that seem to confirm each other, the more reliable we can expect the results in our homes to be.
You miss the point. Most recommendations are by fan-boy owners. Judging by what I hear in high shops of products recommended here, most systems are terrible at the parameters I value. Conversely, my recommendations would fall on deaf ears. Literally!

It is impossible for anyone to advise on performance of a component vis a vis another in a system other than their own.

Last year, I auditioned some $6k & $12k balanced interconnect cables in a fine dealer system. All Mac electronics, B&W 80?, dual REL subs. A very good system, one I could easily enjoy. Swapping in the $12k between the pre & power amps destroyed the sound field. It sounded like I'd put two graphic equalizers in series, alternated boost & cut and then reversed on the 2nd. Time coherence was destroyed! UNLISTENABLE!!

You might ask, "How did I know which was correct?"

I recorded and mixed the music, receiving a Grammy nomination for my trouble.
