Intrigueing. I was not aware that people sell cables that deliberately roll
off the HF end and claim they sound better and not only that sell them for
lots of cash. Amazing.

QED Silver Spiral is one example IMHO, you can tell them in a AB from
normal maplin shark. Just makes the sound polite and nice. Well thats
one way to describe it, another is dull, and lacking in treble. Its not
a huge difference, but I bet its enough in a HiFi shop to make a harsh
system sound more listenable.

Looking at their specs

http://www.qed.co.uk/cables/incon/qunex_ss.html

While they have about 90 pF/foot capacitance, it's not enough to make an
audible change in typical lengths with typically well-designed hi fi gear.

I notice that Rozzar didn't pick up on that one. He appears to like
his illusions unshattered, and has plenty money..................

No, you can't - not unless you *know* what's connected.

Bull****. As noted, you can pick up an easy grand if you really can do
this. Want a ten grand sidebet? :-)
