The idea that speaker cables have to be a certain minimum length strikes me as an audiophile myth too - it likely arises because people who do not understand physics have confused cables with extremely high freq. waveguides used in microwave, radar, etc.
Sure Geoff, draw me a picture....draw me a pint while you are at it :-) I miss Bob over on Audio Asylum. I am not convinced his 5-foot cable philosophy is correct but he certainly had a sort of down home way of looking at things and a good wit. He might have had fun with some of the current cable and fuse threads around here. Gone too soon.
I was with Bob and Curl at CES a couple times. Among others things Bob had great ears. Plus I had some of his TG Audio 5 feet long speaker cables I traded him for, and they were fabulous. Thus, I'm inclined to believe the five foot story.
