Has anyone tested Analysis Plus Speaker Cables?

These values are irrelevant for audio frequencies exept the resistance which
can be calculated or looked up from the wire size. Why trust anybodies
measurements either, you can do them yourself with this meter for 100$
http://www.aade.com/lcmeter.htm . I have it myself (but not your cable). I
use just cheap 12gauge wire and it works as good as any other one I had
tested. Save your money for better speakers instead of throwing it out of
the window for some rip-off scheme with cables.

Belden teflon cat5 cable. Twist 4 of the 8 together for (+) the other
4 for (-) add connectors of your choice and solder. "Silver solder" if
you want to spend the X cash. Keep runs under 10'

In a blind test these will hold their own with $500.00/meter cables!

Very interesting question. How much difference in a blind test can be
detected between 5 different speaker cables ranging from $1 - 500?

I know from personal trials diffences can be heard BUT can a blind
tester tell which cable cost $1/meter or $20/meter or $500/meter...??

The same. Why wouldn't it?

That would be zero.

I know from personal trials that it is vanishingly unlikely that you
can hear any difference, if you do the trials correctly.............

Indeed, if you *can*, you can step forward and collect $5,000, a pool
which has remained unclaimed for about six years now.
