   Crap.  Then there should be no difference between coaxial cable, twisted
   pair and transmission lines in terms of signal propagation.  BUT THERE
   IS!

   Again: Crap.  What you have said here is simply a matter of opinion.  I
   can hear differences between audio cables.  I can not report and
   differences under controlled double-blind tests because I have never
   taken part in one.  I am not attempting to convince you that I can hear
   a difference, but what I hear is good enough for me.
