I used ICR as shorthand. I don't measure inductance for a living so I wasn't trying to use L as in some equation. Some might confuse LCR as Left-Center-Right in any event as it is used in home theater mags.
You can't have it both ways. If you want to get into a technical discussion, then use the right terms. If you want to claim technical ignorance, then don't even try to start a technical discussion in the first place. I sincerely doubt anyone who knew what "LCR" implied about cables could ever confuse them with Left-Center-Right. As for the Cardas link, that was debunked the last time you posted it. If you've forgotten the details, I'd be happy to go over why it's bunk again. The basic problem is that Cardas does not link any of those measurements back to perception: he doesn't tell us how they affect how a cable sounds. Instead he just shows a bunch of pictures, and tells us which ones we should regard as scary. As for LCR being important, no one has disputed this because there is nothing to dispute. Interconnects should have low capacitance, and speaker cables should have low inductance, and reasonable capacitance. Both should have as low a resistance as is practical. Surprisingly, it is easy to screw this up, and many do. For example, Kimber 8TC speaker cable is designed for low inductance, but because of its geometry, it has significant capacitance, which may destabilize power amps (eg. cause to catch on fire or blow up speakers in certain cases). Kimber Hero has no reason for its existence. It is about as poor a cable design as one can make. --Andre
