Steve let me know folk were upset by my post about the possibility of HF rolloff and my comment about it being idle speculation. It was in no way my intent to take a jab at Steve nor anyone else and I am sorry I did not explain further. I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek in hopes it might add a bit of levity but was serious in that it was speculative and against Steve's wishes for the thread. I had no idea people took it so badly until Steve let me know. This is one of those cases of misunderstanding that would not have happened face-to-face. I meant what I said literally: I have not heard the cables, have no technical data, and thus no basis for saying there is any sort of HF roll-off. It was speculation based on my impression of some of the earlier responses. I am very interested in the technical aspects but my comment was taken the wrong way given the atmosphere of the thread. My fault for not being more clear and you have my apologies.
This is the original post, which was in response to MadFloyd's question about who had said anything about HF rolloff with MB cables. As I said in the earlier post, that was purely my conjecture based on what I had read in the MB thread. I did not realize Steve had responded right after that until today (I generally post at work between test runs so sometimes miss posts; I was working today, for that matter, and yes it is Saturday -- been a long couple of years).
I said:
In hindsight I should have put a smiley or something after the first line, but I really, literally meant what I said and AFAIK said nothing more on it. Leif responded immediately after saying there was no HF roll-off, along with others, and I did not respond as I did not feel it needful and accepted their statements. I am interested in the technology but am unlikely to ever hear them in any system let alone mine. Reading it now, in light of what Steve said, I see why others took it the way they did, but it really was not what I meant. I should have clarified my comment.
Sorry, take care - Don
