Considering that multi-million dollar companies are built upon this premise is staggering to me.
I think there is a segment that has a continuous need to update their systems and they are not going to update by buying cheaper or the same priced cables.
There has been more than one blind test of mega-buck speaker cables vs cheapie cables.
No reliable identification of either cable, not even coin toss level.
Thanks guys.

Thanks very much guys.
Gary, I considered selling this but it would require a lot of effort to correct a few minor problems, make new boards, etc. If it could test more than wires it would be a viable product. I'm glad to share the complete schematic with you (or anyone else here) if you email me from my home page:
