An article was published in Audio, July 1994 titled "Speaker cables: Measurements Vs Psycho-acoustic data" by Edgar Villchur. The psycho-acoustic data shows that for pure tones at 16kHz the smallest average detectable difference in level is 3.05 dB. He also indicates: "It can be predicted that at a given level the just noticeable difference will be increased by a significantly greater amount by the masking effect of musical sound below 10 kHz." (See note 1). The findings were based on individuals 20 to 24 years old that had normal hearing to 20 kHz (See note 2). This is what might be called the best of conditions for hearing differences.

音响工程协会期刊第29期,7/8月上刊登了一篇名为“大辩论:主观评价”的文章,作者是历普希兹和万德库依。他们估计,当宽频上存在电平差时,低至0.2dB都可被发觉。但是,在与威尔彻的电话交谈中历普希兹同意这个特性并不适用于电平差全部分布在高频的音频线上。
(Note 1) An article was published in the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society by Lipshitz and Vanderkooy titled "The Great Debate: Subjective Evaluation" Volume 29, No. 7/8 July/August. They estimated that when level differences occurred over a wide band, they were detectable down to 0.2 dB. However, in a phone conversation with Villchur, Lipshitz agreed this figure is not applicable to speaker cables where the level differences are all in the highest audio octave.

贩卖这些产品的策略在于,某种程度上,向某些喜欢通过特别的或者高价东西炫耀自己的家伙推荐这个。拥有者虚荣万分,且相信一分价钱一分货。这令我想起了珀尔茜.比茜.雪莱的奥兹曼迪亚斯 , 但此处我们将他翻译成这样“线业盖物,强者折服” [译者注:原句为Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!译为:功业盖物,强者折服]这些线才也可以买给那些潮人,他们花这么多钱买个线材和买个劳力士一样。当然,也有走时准确的表,就似乎没有 牌子和名气,标价也没那么高罢了。
