I'm not sure what "gizmodo" is, I'm assuming some kind of discussion group somewhere (it's blocked by my firewall) but I think it's funny that y'all think it was OK for the email to be posted on this public forum, but not somewhere else. As long as he linked back here, there's no breach of ethics other than the one 6spdcoupe committed, by posting the original email here in the first place...

nothing good ever comes out of threads about wire

once its on a public forum, it dosent matter what the original poster thinks, its out there for the world and theres nothing they can do about it. no consideration needed if you ask me.

Well if its any credit I do apologize. I put in the PS edit after what was done, and I realized once it was too late that I probably should have asked. On the flip side though, this post started from the original throw down that was posted on gizmodo's website. (At least I can only assume if you go through their article history.) This forum is also viewed by a lot of people in the audio world/business. I simply linked it to gizmodo since I think they owe a response like that to their readers. Once it's out there on the web, it's there for everyone to see. I do wish your name would have been left out, and maybe only parts of your email included, but hindsight is 20/20 i guess. Anyhow, I should have asked and I'm sorry for jumping the gun. Feel free to shift any blame my way if needed.

That I committed? Where did I breach any code of ethics? Please feel free to humor me.

As for posting it, I never denied or approved. Honestly I never had the option to. But as already stated and quote obvious to the eyes its already public. Just a bit of consideration since our forum here seems to have a bit of niche that not everyone visits. Soliciting it out to website after website may cause more harm than good as an end result for the companies at hand. Can I control it? No. Should I be able to? No. End result though is just a lil consideration should have been used prior to posting it, being that now someone on the other forum will forward it to another and so on, we all know how the internet works..

No harm no foul, just for future reference. Its not my place to control it since its already out publicly anyway. I was just hoping for some consideration before moving forward.

Still open on offers for an extended sit-down in my electric chair.

I can assure double-blind testing, fwiw...

I'm still confused why people here seem to think electric chairs, network cable, and antennas have anything to do with fidelity.

I haven't read much of this thread, but I do find some viewpoints intriguing. A company who shall remain nameless was very dissatisfied with a few articles that went up on AudioJunkies about cables. My point isn't necessarily that there are no differences between cables, but rather, that there is little to no scientific backing to what sounds good and what doesn't. Here are my main questions for any and all wire manufacturers.

1. What are the measurable differences between one wire and another? Basically, what are we really looking at to determine which one is better?
2. What creates these differences?
3. Who is doing the leading industry research on the interpretation of these differences? Using loudspeakers as a correlary, who are the Geddes, Klippel, O'Toole, etc. of the wire world?
4. How is quality assurance performed? If the differences between this wire and that wire are immeasurable (as I have heard some claim), then how do you ensure that production run #1 is as good as production run #7409?

I am more than willing to entertain the concept that there may be differences...even audible differences...from one cable to another, but I ask that as a manufacturer, you quantify these differences, which is something I have never seen anyone objectively review.
