Yes, that's what I thought - there is a minimum below which degradation will
begin, but above which no amount of tweaking will be audible. Makes complete

You can easily brand it a con if you do apply some realistic figures,

then it becomes clear that although cables do have real electrical

copper are in practice absolutely negligible.
