I do not have to sail around the world to prove that it is not flat. The extraordinary claims from charlatans puts the burden of proof on them. Anyone with some electronic knowledge can see through the bullshit and fake claims.
By the way I have a Nordost Tonearm Heimdall cable I bought for 100usd when I was young and stupid, it works but is unsuitable stiff. I tested listened and measured Odin interconnect with a group of people , it was the consensus that it was nothing special, compared to Blue Jeans. In fact the contact soldering was poor and Nordost did not report the correct electrical parameters , the real inductance is twice the value that Nordost reports, simply because N use the to+back loop length and not the proper length of the cable pair. Why is this relevant? Ansuz main character is the Ex-Nordost guy Christensen , he use the same marketing tricks and nonsense just at a higher price at Ansuz. Every demo of Ansuz use the same method: Play one track and then the same with the upgraded thing:
Sound better? Yes it always does since the 2 try ALWAYS sound better no natter what you do ; that is how our audible memory works - we recognise the music and notice it better the second time= Improved sound even if it the same.
Then the demo guy Changes song and adjust level for the next test , so w again get the positive recognition effect.
If you try to do a demo with the same song on same volume , but go back and forth between the 2 objects the magical upgrade disappear. I have done this several times with Hifis friends and also with sales people . The outcome is the same : no sale.
I have also opened some of this magic boxes from hi-fi charlatans, in one case the power cleaning box internals were not even connected , is was nothing but a power bar with common ground and a transformer doing nothing.
While we are at it, lets tak a look at som Magic cables , High end interconnecte have superior response and timig right? Funny that there is absolutely no difference in the impulse response( which translates to identical frequency response= no difference)
The legend show the cable maker./name
