When is unequal, equal?

Well, anybody who believes that cables have "timing characteristics" that are audibly relevant will buy anything. But maybe that's the idea, huh?

Hey, I remember nsgarch in some good arguments, this isn't one of them! If speaking physics, timing characteristics are determinied by inductance only. If talking audio, then we are taking moving your head a few inches to one side of center. Oh well..

Not inductance only! Cable topology, and wire composition (not just material, but the stranding and shape are big factors) determine how fast the different frequencies propagate.

What most folks forget, is that an audio signal is a wave in a metallic (usually) medium. And although electricity (electric potential) may transmit at the speed of light in a theoretically perfect medium (ever hear of "super-cooled super conductors"?) an electric "signal" does not, and is very much medium dependent. What do you think the doctor is looking for when he/she checks your reflexes? Wants to see if your cables are deteriorating.

And she need as rubber glove for that...?

next time I'll ask!

Oh gosh! Maybe it was my tubes and not my cables!!
