Re: The Audiophoolery Thread.
Your posts are always insightful and on point, David. I've just dowloaded a 1975 book on Walsh Functions and their Applications, which I will definitely digest.
I agree that woven cables on the output of power amplifiers are not a universal panacea. Some historical Naim amplifiers actually need Naim cable to ensure they did not self destruct. They work find with Self Blameless amps (which I use), with the output networks doing their job just fine. There is another UK manufacturer whose name escapes me for the moment who deliberately omit SOA protection and output networks, and that needs two widely spaced wires to prevent self destruct.
And I agree, when daft price cables need pseudoscience and semi-religious belief as their selling point, that loses the plot big time.
