How about posting a link here?
I am relatively sure PSA won’t mind.
Cheers.

Well, I didn’t actually have to learn a new computer language, but I did have to work on my fluency in PHP and CSS. That’d be easier if it were all I needed to do all day, but of course there’s actual cable to sell, too!
The thing that makes this stuff strange these days is the variety of screen widths. You’ve got to deal with people browsing on phones and desktops and everything between.

Holy insert favored 4 letter word! Great job to all involved pulling together and presenting a rich library in a way fitting of the product and people behind it all.

Fantastic job. The site is so much easier to follow, beautifully illustrated and wearing the mantle of professionalism it so richly deserves.
Shopping for a cable can be so mind numbingly confusing for first time buyers.
The new site makes it a breeze.
Bravo!

Hi Allen,
We still have a tweak or two, mostly from my fat finger ttyyppiinngg issues. I still find the errant auto correct word like “shoe” instead of “show”. The new AI stuff is atrocious. But, someone has to put it all down and you’re stuck with me on the tech papers! It is hard to read the words, and not the papers where you fill-in the correct word in your head and skip right over “SHOE me” instead of show me.
I hope everyone enjoys the popers. I had the customer in mind the entire time all that data, tons of real data, was tested, calculated and verified. It has been fascinating to write them. When you absolutely have to test and calculate getting from A to B to C and can’t cheat the physics stuff is pretty incredible and, I think, really fun to understand.

Very nice, guys. BIG improvement.

Bless you, Galen 
, but at least IME hanging around other audiophiles for 50 years, all too few are interested in actual data. At least, for some reason, when it comes to stuff like cables. OTOH many audiophiles like entrenching themselves in the specifications of things like power amps. Go figure.

I like to think that they don’t know cable physics exists more than they are not interested. We all seem to know “stuff” happens inside electronics, but since cables have skipped that part, no one assumes it matters. Well, maybe if we present the actual way things work, for some it will indeed matter. For those people, it is worth the effort.

Galen,
Do you see an issue with a 10ft XLR to one amp and a 3ft XLR to the other amp?
One amp is much closer to the preamp and I’m hoping to clean up the amount of wire in the setup.
Thanks!
In “practice” a cable’s distortion is per unit length. We have that. How far we have to go to hear it, we also have that. It won’t hurt anything but maybe your ears. I generally try to keep all cables the same length but maybe just ONE set slightly askew won’t impact the sound.
A room (mine is L-shaped) makes more difference between speakers than the cable by far so that is likely far, far worse than what two mismatched cables will do. We need to be realistic.
The exact answer is yes, it makes a difference to measurements based on length (R, L and C are all length changed). The in practice answer is that the overall character of the cable will probably be more pronounced.
Also, remember that many amplifier responses is often tied to the load (cable+speakers) based on the amplifier’s design. So we have a variation between channels linearity there, too. We kind of try to mitigate variation between channels as we look at all this.
