higher purity is not a result of extrusion. it results from raw material considerations and the method that it's handled. Fibonacci numerical series are nothing new. I looked at their website Lee...damn, doesn't it ring of something mystical, like Harry Potter or Stonehenge!
Lee, I was hoping that George was going to include some statistical listening tests!! Not even a white (advertising) paper to tell people his suggestion for a listening test!! I'm disappointed! The term cable resonance suggests that the cables have an inherrant vibrationI know you're a fan of Cardas and for those who wish to read the text version of the patent referenced earlier, they can click on the following link:

A big difference between power line transmissions and audio. Even if there is a reduction in 'vibration' (and we certainly don't know what kind of vibrations he's talking about, it remains to be heard if his manufacturing technique results in an audible improvement.
By the way, as George pointed out in his patent,

By the way, as George pointed out in his patent,
A typical golden ratio progression is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597.
Referencing the wires gauges he used in his patent, 39, 37, and 32 awg we have the following information on those sizes:
conductor size 39 AWG
area 0.006 mm^2 (square-mm)
area 12.5 CM (circular mil)
diameter 3.5 mil
diameter 0.090 mm
DC-resistance 2.729 Ohm/m
conductor size 37 AWG
area 0.010 mm^2 (square-mm)
area 19.8 CM (circular mil)
diameter 4.5 mil
diameter 0.113 mm
DC-resistance 1.716 Ohm/m
conductor size 32 AWG
area 0.032 mm^2 (square-mm)
area 63.2 CM (circular mil)
diameter 8.0 mil
diameter 0.202 mm
DC-resistance 0.538 Ohm/m
Ratioing the areas we come up with the following ratios:
5.33:1.67:1
Now that doesn't look too much like a golden series does it? Damn, the Egyptians did a better job of hitting the numbers! I guess its not just horseshoes that close matter Of course Cardas could've used specially manufactured wire, but he's no fool considering that standard gauges are readily and economically available. Out of curiousity, what happens when you bend the wire and introduce physical and permanent distortion into the wire? Has the golden rule then been transformed to maybe the aluminum rule?
George has gone through all this trouble, and expense, for one simple reason. He's concerned that his measurements don't translate into a sonic difference and chooses not to conduct valid tests that can be independently verified. And to me, that's playing the science card when it suits him.
Hey Lee, bring up some of those damned fine Georgia peaches with you. I do like them.
