In normal use it would mean that the signal propogates at 98% of the speed if light in a vacuum.
This would be quite an achievement. Normally I think 50% is possible in copper.
In practice, if they have managed it, it would mean that you'd hear you music very slightly sooner. Maybe 30 nanoseconds or so sooner at a guess.
Electricity close to the speed of light?This would be quite an achievement. Normally I think 50% is possible in copper.

Now we really are talking BS.
Some googling suggests that ladder line can achieve 95-99%. Best coax is 93%. I think that's all at RF though, I don't know if it's different for audio frequencies.
[edit] typically 50% at 20kHz, so most likely they've measured their cable at RF. Not that it'd matter anyway, over 10m the difference is, I think, 15 nanoseconds.

It’s all nonsense- the only way to allow for the delay in the speaker cable is to speed up the cd. I’ve had all my players adjusted to spin slightly quicker so that the digital data arrives more quickly into the DAC and, as a result, it outputs more quickly. It’s the only way. It’s a very simple concept- like turning the tap on the hose a bit more to get a better flow…Now we really are talking BS.

I’m using it in bi-wire config.
Not cheap but running at 115%.
It’s a neat trick - the music starts playing before pressing play.
How does that work with vinyl? Does it start to play when you think of getting the record out? This is brilliant, no more dust getting on the playing surface!Not cheap but running at 115%.

No room for time dilation in analogue systems.

Modestly priced upgrade and perhaps rather stylish too
As the name suggests it silences your Lan gets rid of all that pesky interference and stuff

Modestly priced at £89 but still a waste of £89. Would rather spend that on more music.Modestly priced upgrade and perhaps rather stylish too

Still, it's nice to see they have gone to the trouble of fitting an isolation transformer, to isolate the already isolated network.

I've just turned my central heating thermostat down by 0.5 deg. I'm having a listening session to see if it's affected my sound stage.
Play it loud enough, and you'll regain that lost 0.5 deg. from the heat of the amp and the speaker voice coils.HTH.
