@gkelly A poor analogy. It's a performance test. Does the car that looks like a Formula 1 go faster than a Chevette? THAT's the question. So they ran 1/4 mile track test and then they ran a road course with EXACT same lap times. NO difference.
As it turns out the Formula 1 'that was tested' was no faster in any category. None, Nada, zilch!! It was FALSE to suggest it was faster when ,in fact, it was NOT faster.
Remember... it's impossible for any cable to make things sound better. (or go faster) A cable can only make it sound worse.(go slower) In this case they were equal performers.
If you have proof of this being incorrect please present your evidence. Otherwise it really is a stupid argument.
