Some points to note about the 'cable reviews' in HFW.

1) The often say little or nothing about the equipment used.

2) Generally don't give a by-line so you can't identify whose views are
written.

Thus they seem to be opinions stated as facts which have preciptated from
thin air, with nothing in the way of any assessable evidence, and almost
nothing in terms of context. Content free writing. :-)

Mind you, (1) may be relief to some equipment manufacturers as it means
their gear isn't give a reputation of being incapable of working correctly
when mains powered. ;-

Slainte,

Jim
