I'm interested in seeing evidence of the "core problem intrinsic to signal-carrying cables" as well as the scientifically demonstrable test results indicating how the technical solution addresses it.
Inverse polarity loopback null tests will work very well for detecting differences between the signal prior to, and after transmission through the device under test- in this case a piece of cable.
That is the statement of someone with no experience with either signal analysis or synthesis.
Thanks Jon, I've been meaning to post the same observation.
In regards to the other statements made in that post, I've recently heard several interesting reports of current fMRI research which shed insight into the neurological basis for absolute pitch (commonly referred to as "perfect pitch"), which go a long way towards demystifying that particular skill. In addition to that cutting edge technical understanding of how our brains actually function when generate that type of tone recognition, there is the simple cultural observation that although absolute pitch is quite a rare trait in the West, it has an astoundingly higher frequency of occurrence in cultures which have 'tone' based languages such as the various Chinese languages. Presumably that’s due to mastering the necessary skills for an innate command of those languages at an early, still very plastic brain development stage, when brain structure and function develops in response to the need for fine tonal discernment in those languages. Relatedly, when recorded speaking the same word or phrase at different times, tonal language speakers will apparently pronounce the tones at almost always the same
absolute pitch, not simply the correct
relative pitch for that particular speech session.
