Gotta love it when the golden-eared folks apply RF
transmission-line
theory to speaker cabling. My scepticism towards audiophile snake-oil
comes via heredity (my late father spent 40+ years in the industry).

I used to have a subscription to Stereo Review in the 1980-90's, must have
read quite a few of your fathers reviews. Funny thing is I am terrible with
remembering names but his stuck in my head for some reason or other.
If you think home stereo sellers were full of it, you should have seen the
garbage car stereo stores were doing in the 1980's.
Anyway, whether its computers or sound systems you have to use your brain,
know what you want/need, and read up on the topic before you even think of
giving anybody your hard earned cash. Salespeople are there only to tell you
what models are in stock and to walk the boxes to the checkout counter.
