Please don't misinterpret anything I say, there are many ways to skin a cat (lots of pictures of cats on this list for some reason).

There is really no right or wrong, there is individual subjective assessment and there are objective so called facts. Between the two we create (manufacturer) and choose (customer) our own system solutions. The bi-polar NAP180 was *theoretically* capable of being faster, but what is faster. How a gain device responds to the speed of acceleration of a note is countered by how quickly it can brake  plus many other factors will contribute to your subjective speed assessment.

I get very schitzoid when working objectively and subjectively at the same time, so I tend to seperate them. My current posts about mosfets are looking at objective assessment, which normally translate as to "what should happen", you have to turn to subjective assessment to find "what does happen", because *you* then become part of the system.

Everything is relative. LS1 is *relatively* high resistance when compared with thick multistrand. BUT that is *relatively* unimportant when used with high damping factor amps, and other losses on the swings and round-abouts that twisted stranding cabling gives you. And this is the second time this argument has been presented, I didn't argue it the first time as I saw a pointless intellectual trap in the making. I will just say that in reality the point is feculent, you will just get bogged down in the mud of semantics.

Placebo is a powerfull effect, if you *believe* what your test equipment tells you then you will hear it, but ultimately you will have to keep convincing yourself and the internal argument will just become more annoying. Contrarily if you always believe the bloody things are lying you are then surprised by any cohesion, and it will then give you more possibilty of reaching the centre / balance.
