*WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters


G'DAY

I’ve spent a sizeable amount of the last year putting together this white paper: The Sound of Music and Error in Your Speaker Cables

Yes, I’ve done it for all the naysayers but mainly for all the cable advocates that know how you connect your separates determines the level of accuracy you can part from your system.

I’ve often theorized what is happening but now, here is some proof of what we are indeed hearing in speaker cables caused by the mismatch between the characteristic impedance of the speaker cable and the loudspeaker impedance.

I’ve included the circuit so you can build and test this out for yourselves.


Let the fun begin

The op seems rather quiet considering the feedback. Was this a run and gun marketing exercise or an honest attempt at a serious white paper?
Capacitance?
Let's assume you use an Amp with a DF of 400. It has an output resistance of 8/400=0.02 Ohms.
What Capacitance (F) should make an audible change?
If you use two separate cables, (Not one that are molding the two lines in a single plastic tube), what Capacitance would such a cable have?


Maybe the op brought up capacitance, but no one in this thread has raised it as an issue except w.r.t amplifier stability so not sure where you are trying to go with this?
Like @djones said there's no reflections at audio frequencies.

Also:

1 . There is no clear scale used for any of the measurements. 
2. The measurements and conclusions are inverted. 

Best,
