Dannel,

Frustration eh?, its a common problem amoungst both young and old adults for a various reasons. Prosumption on the other hand by your part is another matter.

But digression aside,

"I shall qualify my statement. The cables have a flat FR within a given range (audible) and to a tolerance (low enough to be inaudilbe). I can try to put some figures on those if you like, for starters lets say 5Hz to 25kHz and within 0.05dB. If this is the case the material and construction do not matter as the end result is the same."

please do put some figures together Dannel, we are keen for your input on this subject matter.
